Access to the summit

The Bencollaghduff is located along the ridge which connects Bencorr (SE) and Benbaun (NW). It can be reached by a long rocky slope; a cairn stands on its summit.[3]

Conservation

The mountain, along with Twelve Bens range, is part of the Connemara National Park.

In literature

The Irish novelist Joseph O'Connor in his awards winner novel Star of the Sea cites the quarzite shale on the slopes of Bencollaghduff.[4]
