Hungry Hill is the title of a novel by Daphne du Maurier based on the story of the family of her friend, Christopher Puxley, whose family acquired Dunboy Castle and its lands after the defeat of Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare. The copper mines located on the hill in the novel are in reality further west near Allihies. The second element of the Irish name, Cnoc Daod, has long been regarded as obscure, but it is probably simply a dialectal variant of déad meaning ‘tooth’, ‘jaw’ or ‘set of teeth’. A family living at the foot of the hill are known locally as the Bun Daods.   Hungry Hill is the highest mountain in the Caha Mountains area and the 140th highest in Ireland. Hungry Hill is the third highest point in county Cork.

A Longtime Ambition Achieved
by JohnFinn  12 Mar 2024
I was inspired by trekker's comment of 21/4/12 to ascend Hungry Hill from The Healy Pass. Climbing Hungry Hill had been a longtime ambition of mine and it finally came to fruition on 3/3/24. The weather was excellent and there were superb views in all directions. A magnificent hike in good weather but I wouldn't like to be tacking Hungry Hill in poor visibility. The round trip was 14 kilometers and it took 6 hours, a fair chunk of which was spent stopped admiring the stunning scenery. An additional bonus of doing this route is that you take in Coombane and Derryclancy as well. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/130/comment/24153/
