Effectively a spur sticking out from Mullaghcleevaun East Top, this rounded hill is part of a troika with Gravale and Carrigvore. It is more associated with these rather than its bigger neighbours. It will certainly stretch your legs on the climb up from the saddle separating it from Gravale.
The track up from the saddle to the NE is well defined and provides reasonably good footing. That is not to say that it is an easy climb. There is quite a pull up to the summit.
Excellent views out over the valley looking east and south. It is an perfect staging spot for an attack on Mullaghcleevaun East Top and Mullaghcleevaun itself. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/96/comment/6815/

Duff Hill can be approached from Carrigvore and Gravale in a ridge walk that takes about four hours - starting and finishing at the car park on the Military Road south of the Sally Gap. The walk can be shortened by using two cars and parking a return car at the northern edge of the woods SE of Duff Hill or lengthened by continuing on to Mullaghcleevaun and descending at Carrigshouk Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/96/comment/739/

From Gravale in the mist we took a bearing for Duff Hill, but found ourselves off course and glad of the GPS to locate our exact position! It never ceases to amaze me, no matter how often I'm on the hils how easy it is to stray off a bearing especially where familiar with the area and using instinct instead which always leads to a wrong turn! Anyway, no harm done as thankfully this area has no dangerous slopes but all the same its good to be given a wake up call now and again to the dangers on the hills at all times. From Gravale down across a boggy path and over the peat hags to the beginning of the tough pull up Duff. Thankfully at this point of our day the sun was starting to shine fitfully through the rising mist, the cold NW wing though meant there was no chance of removing coats! The summit has a little summit cairn, located much more easily than the one on Gravale, but better visibilty may have helped us there! Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/96/comment/3672/

Approach from Military Road.
by Colin Murphy
7 May 2021
I started at a forest entrance at A (O104 054) (parking for several cars) and proceeded up that track to the N of Carrigshouk for about 100m before continuing NW along the grassy terrain, following the lower contours of Carrigshouk and Mullaghcleevaun E before ascending to the col at B (O090 080), then making the final ascent to the NE up the gently sloping 60m to the rounded top of Duff Hill. 1.5 hours from car. Whatever setting I'd accidentally knocked my camera on to, it produced this distinctly 70's looking shot of the cairn and summit of Duff Hill. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/96/comment/18210/
