The mountain is the highest peak of the Sheeffry Hills and stands in the townland of Clashcame, from which it is named.[1]

A short distance to the northwest is the peak called Barrclashcame Northwest or Storikeennageer (580 m)[3] and to the northeast is the peak of Tievummera (762 m).[4]

Barrclashcame overlooks Doo Lough to the southwest and Glenummera to the south, which separate it from the Mweelrea and Ben Gorm mountains.
