One way of accessing this summit is from the forest entrance at Knocksculloge (S13175 06653). Walk up the track until you come to a junction. Turn left at this and walk to around A (S1396 0621). Then head SW into a ride aiming for B (S13782 06093) (215m at 241 degrees) where you go south along a ride to C (S13799 05992) and then right to the summit.
The top is in a ride with not-so-great views and no cairn.
Still the name if not the mountain has a claim to fame: Knocknasheega was the mythical name of King Brian of the Leprechaun's hill in "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" a 1959 Hollywood oirish film starring Albert Sharpe, and would you believe it, Sean Connery. http://www.imdb.com/title/ttD (S005 272)2/maindetails Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/700/comment/4658/

Largely uninteresting top
by Colin Murphy
20 Sep 2021
There is little to recommend this top, the boggy summit area surrounded almost entirely by trees and the final approach requiring a lot of ducking and diving in and around dense, moss-covered forestry. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/700/comment/23280/

The rub of the green
by Colin Murphy
20 Sep 2021
The last part of the ascent to this top involves a trudge through dense, boggy & mossy forestry, which left my rucksack and jacket a distinctly green colour. The only compensation were some unusually decorated trees. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/700/comment/23281/
