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 97th highest in Ireland. Slieve Carr is the most northerly summit in the Nephin Begs area.

New Comment: Great option for a day hike over Slieve Carr (inspired by Irish Peaks)
by nupat  10 Apr 2024
We walked clockwise as per Irish Peaks description but took an alternative way home. We have loaded a .gpx track.
Starting from F85732 15311 starJ, staying on left side of river we reached the substantial footbridge on the Bangor Trail F86812 16151 starK. Do not be tempted to try to cross the river earlier. We then aimed for the derelict buildings and river crossing on old tree stumps at F88583 16190 starL. We then headed directly for the spur leading to the Slieve Carr ridge. 3h to the summit with some photo stops on a wonderful day. The extent of the Wild Nephin wilderness is a sight to behold. Reaching Tawnyanruddia on our descent we decided to continue along this spur rather than drop down to the Bangor Trail. The ground all along this spur provided "good going" and most likely well superior to the lower ground along the Bangor Trail. Finally we dropped to reach the large footbridge and home. Please request permission to park - we did and we warmly welcomed Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/94/comment/24176/
