Knockanora has a mountain/forestry road until about 200ft from the summit where the terrain turns to heather and flaggers. A cairn on the top is ruined by a 'trig' but whats new. Some previous climber in 2000 left an inscription on a stone (which was just as well because I thought i'd found an ancient circle symbol on a stone beside it!). The mountain has fantastic views of the surrounding rich countryside from Slievanamon and the Comeraghs to the Slieve Aughty, Keeper and MaugherMountain, The Devils Bit blocked a clear view of the SlieveBloom though Knockshegowna was plain to be seen. Wish I could have lingered longer, Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/677/comment/3934/
