A jaunt around the Knockboys and Leim an Sagairt, which might be more appropriately named Leim an Caorán (bog) since that's what I seemed to be doing.
I had originally planned on doing the South top first then doing Knockboy and North top, but the going was so boggy to Leim an Sagart, I said I'd head straight for Knockboy. The going was much better than expected even after all the rain so I decided to takes in the North top and head for the South top. Going to the South top and from the South top back to the road is wet going, but very do-able. If the stream between the South Top and the road is in flood, there is what appears to be the remnant of an old bridge at V99503 60704 which there are some stones to cross.
It would be much better to follow this route in reverse, the last push up to Priests leap on the road is no fun after the boggy traverse from the South Top.
4 peaks above 500m in 3 hours: not to be sniffed at.

NOTE: ALL information such as Ascent, Length and Creator time taken etc should be regarded as approximate. The creator's comments are opinions and may not be accurate or still correct.
Your time to complete will depend on your speed plus break time and your mode of transport. For walkers: Naismith's rule, an approximate though often inaccurate estimate, suggests a time of 2h 42m + time stopped for breaks
NOTE: It is up to you to ensure that your route is appropriate for you and your party to follow bearing in mind all factors such as safety, weather conditions, experience and access permission.
* Note: A GPS Height in the elevation profile is sourced from the device that recorded the track. An "SRTM" height is derived from a model of elevations for parts of the earth. More detail
