On visiting the Summit, we can report, that the Summit is approximately 100 acres of plateau and not a peak, like on other mountain ranges. This flat plateau at the top of the climb is referred to as Percy`s Table, and is a historic benchmark, situated at the Summit over-looking Co.

The area is mainly surrounded by forests and is composed of mountains and mountain land.

It is located in the barony of Ballinacor South on the Military Road, originally constructed between 1804 and 1809, in the wake of the 1798 rebellion. It is so remote that inhabitants say that "Aghavannagh is the last place God made".
