Reaching this site involves a 2km walk through the woods on the west side of Ballymorefinn Hill, but it is worth the effort. The monument itself isn't worth the effort but the location is. The barrow is all but invisible below scrub and newly planted trees, but the views are very interesting.
The barrow occupies an odd spot in the saddle between Slievenabawnoge and Carrigeenoura.
Due west the radio masts on Saggart Hill tell you where the passage tomb at Slievethoul (County Dublin) is. Due east looks onto the passage tomb on Montpelier (County Dublin) and Fairy Castle (County Dublin) on Two Rocks Mountain. Looking northeast past the east side of Slievenabawnoge the artificial mound at Knockanvinidee (County Dublin) and Crookan Cairn (County Dublin) next to it are skylined.
