Slievebawn: Worth the short walk up, less steep turf and stone path.

Summit Comment gaoithe 7 hours ago
We did this on roasting hot day after going up and down Mt. Leinster by road. Nice walk up. Legs welcomed the stretch and walk on turf and rock after the steep tarmac road down the bigger mountain...

Knockboy: What a location (on a fine day!)

Summit Comment hazyview 16 hours ago
The most incredible views on the drive up to Priest's Leap. Still squelchy underfoot in parts despite glorious weather. Stick to the fence: we went astray at one stage when we left it.

Mullaghcleevaun: Light colours, uncertain future.

Summit Comment simon3 a day ago
During a heat wave in 2022 this was the view of Mullaghcleevaun seen from the slopes of Kippure to the North East. Overall the colour is much lighter than usual. The purple is of the heather,...

So far as I am aware there are no objections to some smaller groups occasionally visiting the place provided they behave responsibly. There were objections to routes being published in a book...

Mweelin: Great views on the way up to and at the top

Summit Comment Pepe 3 days ago
It would be possible to drive from Point A up to the first gate, which is only a couple of hundred metres from the top. It would be possible to park at a junction within metres of the gate. B...

Carrigalougha: There are bigger and better fish to fry nearby

Summit Comment Pepe 3 days ago
Parked at W142 717 and plodded through the boggy terrain. A short but uncomfortable trudge up and down: reeds, tall grass, rocks, dodgy footing, midges, fences, etc, etc. Up top the views are...

Summit Comment Carolyn105 a week ago
Parked up a lane marked in picture. Owner of house at the end of the lane was happy to let us park. Said her neighbour wasn't. Easy enough to the top

Onzy: Track 3037 in area near Caoinkeen, Shehy/Knockboy (Ireland)
Caoinkeen and its SE Top
Length: 8.0km, Creator time taken: 2h 8m, Ascent: 358m,
Descent: 322m

Places: Start at W03922 64895, Caoinkeen, Caoinkeen South-East Top, end at Start
Logged as completed by 2

Quick route up Caoinkeen taking in its 'new' SE Top as a bonus.
The SE Top is interesting. From the east it looks like a ridge with four candidate prominences for the summit. Once reached, it is actually more plateau like and there are three clear candidates. For my money, the correct top is at W02812 63787.
