Along the east coast of Ireland there is a cluster of names anglicised as Collin/Collon from Irish collann, meaning 'a height'. See also Big Collin (Co. Antrim) and Collon Hill (Co. Wicklow). They may ultimately show the same root as Lat. collis, Fr. colline and Eng. hill.   Collin Top is the 811th highest place in Ireland.

Picture: The summit cairn & memorial cross to 3 men who died here 1907		  
Rough, energy-sapping ascent
Short Summary created by simon3, Colin Murphy  3 Oct 2023
One approach is to start from the Cargan Dam car park at D19239 17217 starA. Cross the dam and turn left, crossing two stiles and following a narrow trail along the south side of the reservoir, crossing over a small bridge to roughly D19759 17078 starB, where you can strike out in a SE direction towards the summit. The climb is gentle (roughly 140m over 2km) but the terrain is very rough and covered in knee-high heather and grass almost the whole way. Aim for a fence running SW from Collin and upon reaching this, follow it up the grassy incline to the summit. Allow 1.45 car to top. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/691/comment/5450/
