Dungeon Hill is a hill in the Dungeon Hills, a sub-range of the Galloway Hills range, part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. Although it is the lowest of the three main hills along the ridge, it lends its name to the range. Normally climbed as part of a round of the Dungeon Hills and, occasionally, the Range of the Awful Hand, some ascents also begin from the east at Backhill of Bush bothy over the Silver Flowe, however the terrain is extremely demanding from this direction.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Craignaw</span>

Craignaw is a hill in the Dungeon Hills, a sub-range of the Galloway Hills range, part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. Unlike many hills in the Southern Uplands, Craignaw has a complex and rocky summit area, with a long line of crags and rough ground on the east side. The hill is largely composed of granite. Near the north end of the hill is an interesting area of terrain known as the "Deil's Bowlin' Green" where various rounded granite boulders are scatterd at random over an area of nearly horizontal granite slabs. These are believed to be glacial erratics or result from a similar glacier process. On the west side of the hill, near grid reference NX458831, a few hundred meters from the summit is an F-111E Aardvark crash site. The site is marked by a small memorial to the two U.S. Air Force pilots who were killed in the accident. Although the crash happened on 19 December 1979 there are still small amounts of aircraft debris in the area.
