Heathery summit on broad ridge overlooking Lough Acoose.
Summary created by simon3
17 Jan, 2022
Glasheen (V76112 83996), which is on a road going past Lough Acoose.From the south, start at around A (V77919 81491) in the Bridia Valley using the Kerry Way via Beendarrig to gain higher ground.
Expect heathery rough ground on all sides.
The views here are much the same as with nearby Beann Dubh with which it will usually be walked.

Beann Bhan is best taken in along with its colorful neighbours the Binn Dearg (Red Peak) and Beann Dubh (Black Peak) on excursion from Kerry Way from the top of the Bridia path.. Nice views in all directions. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/577/comment/17741/

Passage tomb?
by Colin Murphy
21 May 2024
Descending Beann Bhán in Kerry recently, came across this structure, which appears (to my untrained eye) be a megalithic tomb, although it isn't marked on any map I could find. Perhaps it's of more recent origin, but perhaps a member might be able to shed some light on it. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/577/comment/24215/
