About Falleennafinoga

Rising above the Tipperary plains near Silvermines, this 388m Hump offers a quiet, uncrowded alternative to the nearby Keeper Hill. The terrain consists primarily of upland grazing and forestry, leading to a summit that provides clear, expansive views north across the Shannon basin towards Lough Derg and the prominent notch of the Devil's Bit.

Did You Know?

• •The name Falleennafinoga is likely a corruption of the Irish Fallaing na bhFionnóg, which translates to the 'Cloak of the Hooded Crows', suggesting the hill was a known haunt for these scavenging birds.
• •Standing on the northern fringes of the Slievefelim range, the summit provides an excellent vantage point to survey the Silvermine Mountains, with the massive, mast-topped dome of Keeper Hill dominating the southern skyline.
• •To the north, the view extends over the fertile plains of North Tipperary toward the waters of Lough Derg and the distinctive gap of the Devil's Bit near Templemore.
• •Despite its classification as a Hump, the hill is rarely visited, meaning the only crowds you are likely to encounter are the namesake crows circling the forestry edges.
