Did You Know?
- •The Irish name Barr an Bheithe translates as "top of the birch," while the alternative name Knockanefune likely derives from Cnocán Fionn, meaning "fair hillock."
- •It is classified as a Marilyn, a status earned because the summit drops at least 150 metres on all sides before the ground rises again.
- •The summit provides a strategic vantage point over the Feale valley and the sprawling forestry of the Mullaghareirk Mountains.
- •Navigating the surrounding slopes often requires more negotiation with sitka spruce and bog cotton than with actual vertical rock.
