Parking for 1 or 2 cars at C7863 0128 A. Follow the gently rising track to the NW for about 800m, where it turns sharply to the SW for another 500m. It then turns again to the SSE, before curving around towards the hill’s highpoint, which is about 50m to the west of the track – a couple of stones atop a grassy mound. Up and down in 40 minutes.

The obvious one is that at only 423m high it is just a hill not a mountain. Rather more importantly however I feel there may be an error in the first part of the name given by MV to this summit. As far as I can gather from the OS map and the names of two local roads, the correct title for this summit is Coolnasillagh Mountain (with only one 'i'). Perhaps Simon could look into this? Whatever the correct name is, this is a great little hill - easy to climb and commanding a wonderful vista from its north-eastern face. I parked at a layby on the Coolnasillagh Road, a minor track just off the very busy A6 Glenshane Pass (786012 B). It's a simple trek from here up to the summit, either following the stony track round or as I did straight up the grassy slope. The summit itself is difficult to pinpoint. There was a metal post sticking up out of one of the peat hags which could be the summit although another peat hag nearby looked slightly higher. The view from the summit to the north and east is fabulous - an enormous swathe of Northern Ireland opens up beneath you from Knocklayd in Antrim all the way round to Slieve Gullion in Armagh. Mullaghmore unfortunately blocks the view to the higher Sperrins and Donegal. I was surprised to see a farmer with tractor on the summit collecting the dried turf - one of the rare times I've ever met anyone else on top of a hill. There was also an alarming number of wooden pallets laying about the summit area - presumably these are used for carrying the turf back down. I returned to the car by way of ascent. As three5four0 says, this hill should be climbed if ever in the area as it is easy and well worth it for the views on a good day. I was up and down in half an hour.

This was my third top to tick off the list today and I made this rather easy summit my final one for the route. I found a small pile of rocks at the edge of a track that seems to be the highest point and bang on the summit location according to my GPS. However, with the extensive peat extraction works in evidence all over this hill they may not last much longer and may not be the highest point for long either. Great views though and a nice way to finish my day. This summit was part of a 20km walk that I have uploaded as a route. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/729/comment/15948/
