Knockeenatoung [Cnocin na Teanga]

Sitting on the western shoulder of the Galty range, this grassy summit offers a quieter alternative to its loftier neighbours. It serves as a vital link for those traversing between Temple Hill and the Galtymore massif, providing clear, sharp views across the Aherlow River valley toward the Tipperary plains.

• •The name Cnocín na Teanga translates from Irish as "the little hill of the tongue," likely referring to the narrow, tongue-shaped spur of land it occupies on the western Galty ridge.
• •It is most frequently visited as a waypoint during the high-level traverse between Temple Hill and Galtymore, the highest point in the range.
• •The summit provides an excellent vantage point to view the dramatic glacial architecture of the central Galtys, particularly the steep southern slopes above the Funshion River.
• •At 601 metres, it only just qualifies as a primary mountain peak in many Irish listing systems, meaning a few centuries of erosion might eventually demote it.
