Carronadavderg is the highest point in the Drum Hills (Ir. Drom Fhinín [LL]). Canon Power says of this height: This carn is erroneously marked as Sliabh Grainn on old maps. A remarkable eminence visible for many miles in three directions. A wild legend accounts for the name. Fionn and a contemporary giant had a difference as to the ownership of a certain red bull. In the heat of the dispute the rival proprietors seized each a horn of the beast and pulled the creature in twain. Carronadavderg is the 1156th highest place in Ireland. Carronadavderg is the most southerly summit and also the second most westerly in the Comeragh Mountains area.

Quick and Easy High Point

by TippHiker 3 Mar 2023

Third time visiting this point and a lot of the forestry has been cleared. I wonder what happened to all the deer that were there?

A gate at Grid Ref A as per map (I don't know how to do the grid ref thing here, sorry) allows access to a rough road up to the top of the hill where a number of masts are sited. Forestry signs say 'No unauthorised personnel' but I've opened (and closed) the gate in the evening when there's nobody around and driven up to log the point in two minutes. You can park at the gate either and add ten minutes to walk up the road. The trig point is at the rear of the masts - a short, worn pathway to the right takes you in to it.
