Na Cnamha [The Bones Peak]

Located on the narrow, high-altitude spine between Caher and Carrauntoohil, this sharp rocky peak offers a rugged experience in the heart of the Reeks. At 956 metres, it is one of Ireland's highest Hewitts, providing a dramatic vantage point over the steep drops into the deep Coomloughra Glen.

• •The name Na Cnamha is Irish for 'The Bones,' a stark reference to the jagged, skeletal appearance of the exposed Devonian Old Red Sandstone that forms this part of the ridge.
• •It forms a key part of the Coomloughra Horseshoe, a celebrated circuit that traverses the three highest peaks in Ireland: Carrauntoohil, Beenkeragh, and Caher.
• •Despite its significant height, it is frequently overlooked by walkers focused solely on the summit of nearby Carrauntoohil, which sits just 600 metres to the east.
• •From the summit, there is a clear, dizzying perspective of the Eagle's Nest and the deep glacial amphitheatre of the Hag's Glen stretching out to the northeast.
• •The peak is so well-integrated into the main ridge that many walkers cross 'The Bones' without ever realising they have summited one of the ten highest points in the country.
