Summary
for Commaun Beg :
Uninspiring hill accessed via forest tracks.
Summary created by Colin Murphy

CurenyWd (R90975 65420). Follow the winding trail up for about 2km, barely gaining any height, passing multiple small streams. At A (R92274 65545), go right at a fork and follow this track as it skirts the south of the top. Pass a small, abandoned quarry on left and just past this watch for a rough forest ride ascending towards the top at around B (R92767 65463). Follow this up to the highpoint, marked by a pile of rocks with a pole in the centre. Return by same route.

Commaun Beg is never going to feature in anyone's Top Ten Irish Mountains. Probably not even in their top five hundred. Partly this is because it doesn't present much of a profile as you approach it, but also because it's tree-shrouded and lacking in obvious features.
Our approach was via a waterlogged lane to the NW (we got permission to park at a house atCmanBeg (R921 664)), and possibly not the best way up. The lane deteriorated into a track as it entered the trees, but on arrival at a crossroads, the edge of forestry ascending uphill clearly marked the way.
The summit area is an acre-sized clearing amidst the forestry, the top marked by a rotting stick.
It is a hill with an aura of obscurity and neglect. No surprise that only one Mountainviewer had logged it before us. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/815/comment/6262/
