Summit situated in the townland of Cross. Had an army base on the summit, dismantled around 2001. The second element of Slieve Girkin is suggestive of cuircín, 'crest' or 'comb', which would fit well with the crinkly appearance of the summit when seen from Camlough, but no Irish forms have been found to confirm this.   Camlough Mountain is the second highest hill in the Gullion area and the 842nd highest in Ireland. Camlough Mountain is the second highest point in county Armagh.

Along the beaten track
by Colin Murphy  5 Mar 2025
A decent walk from the south, two thirds of which is on a tarred road. Previous posters have said the track after the masts is faint and easily lost, but now it's actually quite decent, if a bit muddy in parts, and goes all the way to the top. I assume some work has been done in the intervening years. A decent hill with good views. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/724/comment/24394/
