Park at R5237269303 A and then walk east on tracks for 1.1km to a track junction. Head NE, leaving the road following a boggy old wall, aiming for R53607 69881 B,walk SW on an indistinct path to the trig pillar.

You may be tempted when coming from the R471 to go north to the stretch of road near the the summit by driving via R54816824 C - this road isn't passable from the south. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/949/comment/5708/

From the R471 Sixmilebridge to Cloonlara road it is possible to drive north from a place marked as Oatfield (R54266727 D). The road worsens as you ascend, becoming potholed though as of 2009 still passable in an ordinary car. Park at R5237269303 A and then walk east on tracks around 1100m to a point where a number of tracks meet. Marvel or at least mutter darkly at the number of remains of car burnings here - I counted 6 without trying; apart from Clermont Carn, I've never seen anything like it. There are at least two ram wrecked forest gates of the heavy steel variety. Head NE, leaving the road following a boggy old wall, aiming for R 53607 69881 B from where it is possible to walk SW on a better-than-nothing path to the trig pillar.

Incidentally you may have been tempted when coming from the R471 to go north to the stretch of road near the the summit by driving via R54816824 C - this road isn't passablefrom the south.

What delights await you on the summit? Well there's views east to the Slieve Bernaghs around 10k away. To the west there is this view of the river Fergus. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/949/comment/4218/

Having the good fortune to finish work early on a fantastic hot day, decded to visit some summits in the Shannon area. Knockanuarha Hill or Bonfire Mountain would be a better name in view of all the burned out fires.
I approached from the Belvoir side road, not too bad of a road, and contiinued to forest entrance on left at R52365 69298 K, you can park here or drive further in to first junction at R52652 69370 L. Keep left at this junction, which is blocked to vehicular access and right at next T junction, keeping left at crossroads R53454 69462 M which will allow you direct access to the summit.

Climbed Friday 25th July. Thanks acorn for great directions, was able to drive to R 52860 69143 G. From here it was a pleasant 15mins walk to Summit trig point. Was above the blanket of heavy fog that covered much of the country hereabouts today. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/949/comment/17570/

Known locally as the 12 o'clock hills the locals have made a great job in creating two walking trails, the red trail and the longer blue trail. These can be accessed from two trail heads, at Snaty and Belvoir. I parked at the Bevoir trailhead at R51551 70222 N and followed the blue waymarker arrows which will take you on a nice 8.5km loop through forest and out onto the open mountain where a trail that leads all the way to the trig on Knockanurha. The markers will lead you down the mountain again passing in through some forest and back to the trailhead. Great job by the locals in the area for putting in such a fine effort. Keep up the good work! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/949/comment/20564/
