Ben Cleuch is a Graham of 721 m in Clackmannanshire. It is also on the county tops list, as the highest point of its historic county.

Its closest neighbour in this register, Uamh Bheag, is 23.9 km away. Its drop is the 8th greatest among the Grahams, behind Sgurr na Coinnich at the top. It counts towards four lists: Grahams, Donalds, Marilyns and county tops. Of the Grahams, only Beinn Mhor (Na h-Eileanan Siar [Western Isles]) and Morven (Highland) stand further from higher ground. Its drop of 595 m is 82% of its height: the col linking it to higher ground is only 126.4 m above sea level. All four of its nearest neighbours lie to the north, so it stands at the southern edge of its group. It shares its height of 721 m with Ben Stack, Rhinog Fawr and Slieve Carr. On the Grahams height ladder it sits between Ben Stack (721 m) and Stob Mhic Bheathain (720.4 m). Its nearest higher summit, Carn Chois (786 m, 29.3 km north-west), is a listed top not profiled here.
