Dungeon Hill is a craggy peak in Kirkcudbrightshire reaching 2,001 feet, in the Galloway Hills two miles east of the summit of Merrick, the county top.
The hill is part of a longer ridge running south to north. It has tarns on its western and eastern flanks: on its west side is Loch Enoch and to the east along the Brishie Burn are two tarns: 'Long Loch of the Dungeon' and 'Found Loch of the Dungeon' and north of them the self-contradictory 'Dry Loch'.
