I visited this place: NO (You need to be a logged-in member for this.)
Bedrock type: Mixed schists, minor basic metavolcanics, (Bunaveela Lough Formation)
Notes on name: There are several hills of this name, one further west in Mayo, one in Fermanagh (anglicised Trustia) and one near Mullaghmast in Co. Kildare (Trustiu in the Metrical Dindshenchas). Why these hills have a name meaning 'tripod' is unclear, but some at least appear to have had a ritual significance. There are traditions connected with Tristia in Mayo which preserve elements of the pagan festival of Lughnasa. As well as climbing the hill, it was tradition to visit St. Patrick's Well and the Blessed Virgin's Well at its foot. These wells were reputed to offer cures for eye ailments and for jealousy [MacNeill, 106-07].

A little steep one!
by shaunkelly
13 Apr 2012
Decided to do this smaller one to rest the legs after being blown over a couple of times on neighbouring Nephin. I parked at the junction of the forest road and the R316 at A (G078 088). I had intended to turn right at the T -junction of the forest track at B (G078 091) and then follow the edge of the forest up to the summit. Unfortunately this T junction had a fence across the right turn with silage bales behind it. Even though it does still appear as Coillte property I wasn't sure and decided to head for St Patricks Holy Well at C (G073 087) to approach from there. It turns out you could easily turn and park 4 cars at the well.
I then went over a stile at the end of the forest trail and crossed a ditch and turned uphill after about 30m. After that I walked up steeply through the larger trees. No "fir-bashing" required though! Not an easy walk because of the steepness, but not unlike the other mountains in this area. Plenty of fraughaun bushes on this hill but didn't see any on Nephin.

Steep climb up forest
by Fergalh
9 Jan 2023
Back in 2014 I followed Shaun Kelly's excellent route description. A steep climb following a rough deteriorating fence line followed until the summit was achieved. This is marked by a pile of rocks great views in all directions, especially towards Nephin. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/929/comment/23792/

Golfers make their mark on Tristia
by Fergalh

St. Patricks Well is worth a visit on the ascent even if just to see the Golf flag. Was someone there to pray for a better shots or sprinkle holy water on the clubs..? The mysterious flag was there in 2014 has it survived the years since I wonder Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/929/comment/23793/
