Whilst the origin of this unusual name, along with Bweengduff, is unclear, they are almost certainly related to the nearby settlement of Bweeng (Ir. Na Boinn) and the townlands of Beennamweel East and West. One possibility is that Boinn is a corruption of Ir. muing, ‘rushy area’, and this explanation would fit well with its application to an upland areas of moderate height in Bweeng Little and Bweengduff.   Bweengduff is the 874th highest place in Ireland. Bweengduff is the most easterly summit in the Boggeragh Mountains area.

Tis an awful affliction bagging hills. Worse again is bagging hills under 500 meters because you stupidly tell yourself , "ah sure I'll get 4 or 5" and end up crippled by distance and drowned by bogwater. Such is the case with trying the Bweengs and Mount Hillary on the same day.
Anyway Bweengduff is reached from the road at W46444 88741 starA by following the Duhallow way (and don't take shortcuts unless you like swimming!) and hanging a left and then a right to the most mast adorned summit in Ireland. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/757/comment/4051/
