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 1

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.
