Ó Cíobháin gives Beann, 'peak', as the true name of this mountain. Apparently the name Bruach na Binne really belonged to a feature a few miles to the W overlooking the Bridia Valley and was mistakenly applied to this peak by the sappers.   Broaghnabinnia is the 83rd highest place in Ireland. Broaghnabinnia is the most northerly summit in the Dunkerron Mountains area.

Probably an easier ascent of Broaghnabinnia
by nupat  19 Aug 2023
While we didn't ever attempt the route from Ed.1 we did complete the new route to Broaghnabinnia described in "Irish Peaks" Ed.2. We have uploaded a .gpx and both up/down routes are fine but would advise hitting the larger, lower down stream first and then turning for the coll. Ascent and descent routes from/to coll as uploaded are both fine - ascent is just a bit of a slog then taking a line away from the coll for an easier descent. We didn't complete the Stumpa Duloigh option due to weather moving in - for another day. Nice straightforward bagging of another Top 100 Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/80/comment/24018/
