(You need to be a logged-in member for this.)
Notes on name: As on neighbouring Slieve Daeane, there is a cairn at the summit of Slieve Dargan, the remains of a passage tomb aligned with the rising sun as viewed from the Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery at two points during the winter. Another is situated on a knoll to the SE at G704 296 and named Cailleach Bhearra's House, just like the passage tomb on Slieve Gullion, Co. Armagh. See Listoghil: A Seasonal Alignment? by Pádraig Meehan for details of the sunrise alignment.

I approached this hill from The Sligo Way at A (G70904 29393) and as Geo stated in his comment slogged my way directly up to the summit at B (G70696 29825) to be rewarded with fantastic views. Linkback: new.mountainviews.ie/summit/1525/comment/24572/

Part of a treble of small hill summits
by Fergalh
14 Nov 2024
Climbed along with Slieve Deane and Slieve Deane East Top (which is on no list). Started from point C (A71585 28740) and headed up easy enough climb and an interesting trio of hills to climb in Sligo. Great vies from the rocks at the unmarked summit Linkback: new.mountainviews.ie/summit/1525/comment/24329/

A viewpoint worth slogging up to.

Sitting by the collapsed cairn, sipping my coffee on a perfectly still October afternoon, I could not believe the number of hills on my horizon.
From North and Slieve League, over the Dartry's, the wind turbines of Roscommon, Lough Arrow, the cleft of Carrowkeel, Keash, the Ox Mountains and back to Sligo Bay. A stupendous panorama.
And so few have ticked it off? Linkback: new.mountainviews.ie/summit/1525/comment/24561/
