Picture: Which way?

New Comment: Nice recreation area.

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.
