There are a couple of possible approaches to this hill. One is to start from the carpark at A (N306 023) near the stone Monicknew Bridge. Walk up a forest track to the north east, which takes you along the south east side of the Delour River. Follow the mountain track until you reach a gap in the forest (at around B (N322 030) C) with open moorland to your left. There then follows a trudge of about 1km NE over uneven moorland. The summit was flat, and in winter quite swampy, as in picture.
A more interesting but much longer alternative is from the NE. There is a large car park at C (N364 065) The boardwalk begins here and runs SW for about 1km across an otherwise heather-coated landscape. The incline is gentle. The continuous boardwalk ends, but the route continues along a muddy track (very poor in wet conditions) and you may have to negotiate your way around several particularly bad patches. After 1km you will see the first of three marker cairns about 100m away to the left. After 2km you will see a second, much larger and sharply pointed cairn again to the left. At D (N348 047) you will reach the largest cairn - the substantial structure known as The Stoney Man. A narrow track leads away from this towards Capard's high point, which is an unmarked, elevated bump. From there it is a further 1.5km walk NW, dropping down to 420m at the col before ascending again. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/438/comment/5197/
