I climbed this hill as part of an evening walk over Arderin and Stillbrook Hill. It is an easy ramble up and down in twenty minutes on the eircom acess road MR N 266 040 starA. The top is crowned by the highest survey colum I have seen in the irish hills. By all means visit if in the area but do not go out of your way to "climb" this hill.
