Park at L81005 61429, where there was space for 2 cars. The road leads in to Killary Harbour where there is a large mussel farm. Ensure the car is completely on the grass verge as large lorries are a regular feature. This modest mountain offers an excellent perspective on the north Connemara and Mayo higher peaks and their relative positions. On a good day the views are magnificent. As others have mentioned, the going is soft, even after the dry spell in Spring 2025.

After reaching the summit we headed north west and then made a steep descent to the Foher famine village and the track back past the mussel farm along the shore of Killary Harbour.
