Droim an Bhothaigh / Drumavohy is the name of a townland in the parish of Clondavaddog. We are not aware of a specific name for this hill, but as the townland name refers to a hill, it also seems suitable as a name for this peak. Droim an Bhothaigh is the 1468th highest place in Ireland.

Picture: Drumavohy from the west, with Urris Hills over Lough Swilly.

Low but wild hill with coastal views.

Short Summary created by simon3 27 May 2014

Although just scraping into MV's lists with an estimated prominence of 100m this summit has the feel of somewhere high, remote and wild.
One place to start is at C2393 4201

A where there is space for 1 or 2 cars. Immediately north of here is a minor driveable but untarred road, which starts uphill allowing you to gain height quickly. Follow this as far as it goes and then head for the summit over rough boggy ground and near a reed bed.
Views from the top include Lough Swilly - to the west is Murren Hill with its large telecoms installations. Don't miss Lough Doira, a scenic lake on the way up. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1345/comment/15589/
