This peak is unnamed on the Discovery map. It is near Lough Naweeloge (prob. Loch na bhFaoileog, ‘lake of the seagulls’) and is on an eastern arm of the Ben Scardaun / Lackagh Mountain massif. Any information on its correct name would be welcome.   Naweeloge Top is the 766th highest place in Ireland. Naweeloge Top is the most easterly summit and also the second most southerly in the Dartry Mountains area.

The Last Tram
by sandman  17 Jul 2011
Travelling back home having climbed Leean Mountain it was such a beautiful evening I decided to revisit Naweeloge Top. Started at H02172 33464 starA follow main farm track passing through 3 gates arriving at turf cuttings continue till you meet fence, follow fence to base of rock face. At the end of fence turn right along old constructed path (long overgrown), through rusted gate to point H00558 33356 starB below Tramway ruins. Ascend to plateau from here, up top is relatively flat and I headed to G99516 34163 starC which is a well built cairn not shown on OS Map 26 where a stone seat awaits with great views accross to Truskmore and closer neighbours of Dough, Thur, Lackagh, Ballaghnabehy. Having taken in the view I then headed to the main top at G99740 33748 starD which consists of a Trig Pillar and partly collapsed cairn. Time was running out I returned to the ruins of the Tramway via point H00171 33218 starE which is a well built cairn (shown on map) impressed with the views of the Cuilcagh Ridge, The Benbracks, The Playbank and Bencroy. Well worth a visit on a clear day. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/650/comment/6408/

Tramway to the top!
by paddyhillsbagger  22 Jul 2011
Using the excellent directions provided by sandman I too took the "Tramway" to the top. There were fine views all round and I spotted no less than 3 stone cairns, including one by the trig point. It would be possible to walk on to Bellanghbehy Top from here across a rather desolate heather/peat hag summit plateau. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/650/comment/6422/

Naweeloge day out
by Hyperstorm  26 Feb 2022
Started this one with already having walked 5kms of the North West cycle trail behind Glenfarne. Choose to go up a different route starting at G9770 3600 starF, following the trail South I missed the track marked on the osi sheet 26 so ended up following my way up the hill using a fence as handrail until upon the flat plateau.
Extremely windy and exposed day, map got ripped but didn’t lose it. Headed East and came across the unmarked cairn at G99516 34163 starC first. Headed to trig point. Cloudy day but clear visibility all around. Great views of Lough Macnean upper and lower, and you can even just about see Maeve’s Cairn on Knocknarea to the west peaking out. All the other obvious and already mentioned neighbouring peaks are visible and offer a lovely reward to take your mind off the wet feet from trudging through the peat hag/bog of the plateau (I climbed this after heavy snow fall in Feb 22 so plenty wet and still some snow in the hollows). Nice Loughs on top but I wouldn’t go swimming there unless it was much warmer!
Zig zagged down the east face until I could see the dismantled tramway. And came through the forest and followed the river most of the way before pealing off at H0200 3449 starG where the road crosses another river. (Very overgrown and next time I’ll aim for the road at H0119 3321 starH instead.
Enjoyable walk with rewarding views. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/650/comment/23422/

Meh
by magnumpig  13 Jan 2019
I followed Sandmans instructions - thanks for those - it's a bit of a time consuming and boring climb, and the views from the top arent great. I wouldnt prioritise it if you have time constraints on the peaks in the area that you want to climb. I wonder if there may be a quicker route from the Glenfarne side of the mountain. I won't be the person to confirm though! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/650/comment/20334/
