It is possible to drive to up a road past some farm buildings, the road then becomes a drivable track up to turf workings, although care is needed on the occasionally potholed road, and you must open and close a gate at one point, but no signs deny access.

This takes you to 300m ascent and from there the summit is just 650m to the west. Cross some turf workings and begin to ascend through steeper terrain, mostly grass and the occasional boulder, then turn NW up the short, but steepest final stretch.

Great views all round, particularly towards Lough MacNean to the east.

The summit area is an interesting mix of short heather and flat rocks dotted with shallow pools. The high point is a distinctive, lone, small boulder topped with stones.

Return journey to car 1 hour.
