Parked at Carntogher Way car park and walked about 750m NW along road, crossing the Altkeeran River and then turning left, over a gate to follow a grassy trail (squelchy in parts) west for about 800m.

This then swings NNW for a kilometre, following an old wall most of the way, and eventually meeting a more substantial track running E-W.

Turned left and came to Emigrant’s Cairn after about 500m, then circled around back of the steepish bump that marks the summit area, which is marked by a grass-covered stone age cairn with marker/description pole atop it. Rather than returning the same way, after I passed the Emigrant’s Cairn I continued east along the Cartonger Way, which afforded me fine views of the furze-covered hillside to the south. This trail curved around to eventually rejoin the road about 800m north of where I’d originally left it, but left me with a longer road walk back to car. Just over 2 hours in total.
