Park to South East and forest entrance. Ignore the forest track as there is a muddy track which leads through trees to the unmarked summit. It was bucketing down at this stage so no photograph, not that there was any view anyways except for trees Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B7605/comment/21787/
