The Mourne Wall leads to the summit and there, like Slieve Donard, is a tower probably built to give some shelter to the workmen who constructed the wall. Meelmore also has what appears to be an old stonemasons hut at J302285 with plenty of part cut stone on its periphery showing that Meelmore was likely another spot that materials were gathered for the Mourne Wall.

On the summit of Slieve Meelmore stands a small stone shelter, a welcome spot to rest after the steady climb up. From here, the views stretch across the Mournes, with Slieve Bearnagh’s rocky tors dominating the skyline. The shelter gives hikers a place to pause, shielded from the wind, and enjoy the sweeping mountain scenery before continuing along the Mourne Wall.
