Cooneen Hill: Ok hill, top-notch view.

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 11 hours ago
Although it's so-so in terms of challenge and aspect, this hill provides a great panorama to the west of Keeper Hill and the Silvermines, which alone makes the climb worthwhile.

Short steep climb
by Fergalh  2 Jan 2021
Drive north of LLithfaen along narrow lane until you reach Small Car park. Take the stone track that runs all the way to the col between the two Yr Eifls. Take track towards summit which stops before you reach the top and a short not so easy scramble follows. The summit is marked by two cairns and has some wonderful views Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B7497/comment/21959/
