On Tim Robinson's map of Connemara, Seanadh Bhéara (Shannavara) only appears as a townland name. This hill is named Cnoc Úraid. A legend predicts that Cnoc Úraid / Oorid Hill will be the site of the last battle for Christianity. [TR] Seanadh Bhéara is the highest hill in the South Connemara area and the 1041th highest in Ireland.

Access

by sandman 15 Aug 2017

To answer the query raised by TommyV for at the time to facilitate parking on a narrow road and not wishing to park on the N59 i parked beside the farm yard with a view to access the hill via the route described in Track 925 but as i parked i noticed the track up thru the farmyard. Whether the farmer is still happy to allow hill walkers i can't answer . But as a safe guaranteed no access issues approach from the south parking in the small car park at L9271638708 star
