Binn idir an Dá Log (Irish: Binn idir an Dá Log; the mountain between two hollows)[3] is a 702-metre (2,303 ft) mountain in the Maumturks range in Connemara, in County Galway, in the west of Ireland. It is a quartize peak, resting between two glacial corries, positioned at the centre of the Maumturks range. It is the highest mountain in the Maumturks range,[1] and is the 52nd highest mountain in Ireland.[4]

Binn idir an Dá Log is sometimes incorrectly named as Barrslievenaroy (or Baurslievenaroy) (Irish: Barrshliabh na Ráthadh; the mountain fort)[5][6] which is a small townland on the north slopes of the mountain.[7][8] The Irish names database records an anglicised version of "Benadolug", which is rarely used.[9]
