At the summit are the remains of a large ancient cairn of pagan origin.

This cairn was partially destroyed and a small building, apparently a church, was built on it in the Middle Ages.

Pilgrims formerly climbed the mountain during the festival of Lughnasa to visit a holy well on the summit.

[1] The mountain lies roughly halfway between Hollywood to the north and Donard to the south.
