Updated Summary:
An easy bog trot.
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy, jackill  17 Mar 2023
This is an easy walk starting from the large carpark at W34900 86100 starA and following the track (which is show as part of the Dulhallow way on the Discovery map) past bog works and the access road to Seefins mast covered summit (491m) for approx. 1.5 kms until it starts to turn downhill.

When it does go straight across the bog to W36928 86307 starB and you will see a Duhallow way marker post. Enter the forest on a narrow , boggy pathway to emerge at a forestry turning point at W37142 86332 starC .

Cross the clearing and head directly up a overgrown but passable ride to the summit coordinates.

An alternative approach, and one that gives access to the East top, is to park at W37314 87049 starD where there is room for multiple cars. Head south up forest track to W37604 86695 starE and turn right onto another thrack that curves around the hill. Follow this for about 800m to W37147 86378 starF. Watch for a forest ride on left about 50m before the track ends - you will need to clamber over a high, grassy bank. Head east up the rough forest ride, requiring a couple of deviations around fallen trees, eventually arriving at highpoint - a rough clearing with one side having been felled.
