Crocknafarragh is a mountain amongst the Derryveagh Mountains in County Donegal. It forms a grand highlight of the Glenveagh National Park.
Crocknafarragh South East Top stands at grid reference: B884164, and reaches 1,542 feet.
The hill is owned by An Taisce.
Ascent
Crocknafarragh is a hill remote from roads and isolated in the wild landscape, and it is reckoned best climbed as part of a greater circuit involving other hills such as Grogan More and Crockglass.
For a direct ascent the closest convenient location is off road at B846167, followed by a walk around the north side of Lough Caol. Past the wee Mullincrick Lough, it is a shortish equally short walk up to the summit, which is marked with s cairn. The South East Top is half an hour's walk to the southeast, and again it has a small summit cairn; otherwise this top is too flat to present an obvious summit point.
