I followed the track uphill into the forest as far as S65255 43455 starD and just beyond the apex of the bend I followed a rough track through a thinned area of forest out onto a track skirting the forest edge.I followed this track to its highest point and then entered the forest again. The trig pillar is about 100 meters into the forest and 100 meters to the left . Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/882/comment/4482/
