Cheers for all the pointers, looks like Knockroe will be on the hitlist and possibly Bawnfree hill (better charge up the lamps!) for a start. Duntryleague is also very tempting, if I'm feeling like a drive I might also go as far as Shanballyedmond for some nocturnal moseying.

The visit notes for Knockroe say its up a track, can you drive up the track or is it more like a trek? Any idea how long the track is as well?
Cheers :)

You can drive almost up to the passage grave itself! It's a reasonably maintained farm track and offered no resistance to my Golf. I stopped at the farm buildings and walked the remaining 20 metres or so. The farming couple are dead nice too, intrigued to know of the significance of what they have on their land. Enjoy.

I find Shanballyedmond kinda boring, much prefer Baurnaodeemey. If you are thinking that kind of distance then a trip to Lough Gur by night is amazing.
