The 356-metre (1,168 ft) high hill is visually striking, as it stands in a prominent position on the Renvyle Peninsula between Ballinakill harbour (south), Inishbofin (west) and the Crump Island (north).

The summit hosts a small cairn and offers a panoramic view of the Twelve Bens, the north Connemara and Mayo coastlines, Inishbofin and other islands.

The walk which leads to the summit does not require any special hiking ability.

The main features are rocky outcrops and upland grassland, with alpine and subalpine heaths.

[5] Tully Lough and the NE slopes of the mountain have been designated as a candidate Special Area of Conservation under the EU Habitats Directive.
