Did You Know?
- •The name is an English translation of the Irish Cnoc Fada, a descriptive term used throughout the country for hills characterized by an elongated ridge rather than a single, distinct summit.
- •From the top, you are rewarded with a clear view across the Suir Valley to the north, where the isolated mass of Slievenamon dominates the Tipperary horizon.
- •While it lacks the dramatic glacial cirques found deeper in the Comeragh Mountains to the south, its position makes it a useful landmark for those navigating the lower slopes near the Waterford and Tipperary border.
- •Hikers may be relieved to find that the name refers purely to the hill's elongated shape rather than the time required to reach the top.
