6km NW of Lanesborough. The name has nothing to do with bán, 'white'. Bána is the modern form of Badbgna, name of a Fir Bolg chieftain of this area. In clear conditions it is possible to see as far as Crough Patrick. There is also a fine view of the many islands on Lough Ree. Has been called Aghalard.   Slieve Bawn is the highest hill in the North West Midlands area and the 1254th highest in Ireland. Slieve Bawn is the most easterly in the North West Midlands area. Slieve Bawn is the second highest point in county Roscommon.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Slieve Bawn (<i>Sliabh Bána</i>) in area North West Midlands, Ireland
Picture: Which way?		  
Nice recreation area.
by TommyV  2 Nov 2018
There are a number of points to access this hill, I went from M96291 73210 A. The hill is a windfram and forestry but it has also been cleverly made into a recreation area that has good paths, a viewing platform at the summit and is well sign posted. As I was on the way home after a stag in Carrick-On-Shannon I just took in the summit but it's possible to continue on a looped walk of the hill to see other sights such as a mass rock, church ruins and a holy cross.
