Also known as Slieve Cor or Corslieve. The Discovery map links the name Corslieve with a neighbouring peak (541m) situated about 3 miles to the south, but the Ordnance Survey Name Book and William Bald's map of Mayo (1830) show quite clearly that it is simply an alternative for Slieve Carr, with the same elements inverted. A cairn on the summit is named Laghtdauhybaun on the old ½ inch map, but is unnamed on the Discovery map. This is probably derived from Ir. Leacht Dáithí Bháin, 'burial monument of white Dáithí'. There may be a connection with Dáithí, a king of Connacht and reputed last pagan high-king of Ireland (see Slieve Alp). This peak is named Curslieve on Bald’s map of Mayo (1830). Slieve Carr is the highest mountain in the Nephin Begs area and the 98th highest in Ireland. Slieve Carr is the most northerly summit in the Nephin Begs area.

Great hike in ideal conditions

by philmchale 15 May 2019

I also did the two trail route from Letterkeen (Bangor Trail in: Western Way back) and had excellent weather and fairly dry conditions. One slight variant was to leave the Bangor Trail at T920097 star

E when it started downhill, and to contour round the hillside (aiming for a gleaming chunk of quartz), which brought me out just below the outfall from Scardaun Lakes at T921111 star

F. The southeast spur from the summit ridge offers a good way down, and from the knoll at T932125 star

G you can head straight down to a small clearing in the forestry that drops you at a set of steps down onto the forestry track. There has been a lot of clear cutting (May 2019) so the views on the way back are better. 27.4 km, 1074 m elevation gain, 5:54 walking time, 7:03 elapsed.
