Aidand's directions are spot on. The road that looks like an entrance to a house actually leads into a forest, it is rough but manageable if you drive very slow. I drove as far as an old abandoned...

You can start at Ballaghisheen, a mountain pass V671 792. Space here for 3-4 cars. Ballaghisheen is at just over 300m so the climb to the top at around 551m is not a great strain. There is a sign ...

Peter Walker: Track 2467 in area near Slievegarran, Mourne Mountains (Ireland)
Slievegarran
Length: 2.2km, Creator time taken: 35m15s, Ascent: 176m,
Descent: 173m

Places: Start at J32342 42421, Slievegarran, end at Start

The game face was on a little more for this one, as time was at a premium (a wise man doesn't risk his tea going cold). The initial going means that it might be easier to start slightly south of where I did on the road, and following the far flank of the initial low intervening ridge (not obvious on the map) might save a tiny bit of ascent, but otherwise this is a pretty efficient way up and down on steep grass.
