Slieve Croob, Mountain summit in County Down, Northern Ireland
Located in the Dromara Hills, Slieve Croob reaches an elevation of 534 meters and features a tarmac path leading to communication towers at its peak.
The mountain's summit contains an ancient burial cairn that measured 77 yards in circumference and 18 yards in height during the 19th century recordings.
Local residents climb Slieve Croob on the first Sunday of August, known as Cairn Sunday, carrying stones to honor twelve Kings buried at the summit.
The Dree Hill car park provides space for 15 vehicles and serves as the starting point for the 4-kilometer round trip hike to the summit.
Slieve Croob marks the source of the River Lagan, which flows through County Down before reaching the Irish Sea at Belfast harbor.
