Picture: Seefin's fallen trig.
by simon3  17 Jul 2005 The summit trig pillar has fallen on hard times. Fortunately the mist restricts our view of the concrete monstrosity, mentioned by Jackill, in the background.

The vehicle to the left of the monstrosity is a 4WD. Usually I can't say I want these things on mountains (or in cities). However I would make an exception for this occasion where it was bringing organisers and supplies for participants on the annual Comeragh Challenge.

This illustrates that it it possible to drive to the summit, assuming you have the key for the gate. You certainly won't do it in an ordinary car however.

by jackill  28 Nov 2004 The summit of Seefin is marked by two cairns and a concrete hut which
warns of " Microwave radiation" from TV broadcasts (Oh my poor head !!!)
and promises we'll be the first to fry - wouldn't it be great if the people who erected it took down all this tv rubbish on the Comeraghs/Monavullaghs as most of it seems well past being used
Go on the Deise!!!!!

Picture: Cairn south of Seefin.
by simon3  17 Jul 2005 Coming south from Seefin this megalithic cairn at around 670m marks the start of a sharp descent along the ragged fence to Barnamaddra Gap and standing stone.

On the occasion that I did it, the wind was extraordinary. It hadn't been very noticeable at all on Seefin or points north of there, but here it must have been near to the tumbling point.

Safely returned I sought an explanation from maps. The wind was from the SW and the slope stretching from Seefin to Coumaraglin and Farbreaga is a hugh natural ampitheatre. The wind wasn't that strong either on the plateau top or at road level but entering this mostly treeless valley is scooped and concentrated on the ridge near the cairn. Since the SW is the commonest direction for wind, this must happen fairly often, so I would be interested if anyone else has encountered such a phenemenon.

Picture: The former TV retransmitter and view to the north from the summit cairn.		  
by csd  3 Mar 2008 I parked at the start of the forest track at S25466 04916 (Point C) and followed it up to the summit. Navigation is straightforward, even though my 1993 preliminary edition Sheet 75 wasn't quite right about the tracks or the current extent of the plantation. The concrete hut is still there at the summit, unfortunately. There are, however, some lovely views north towards Fauscoum, west over to the Knockmealdowns, and south to Croahan. It takes about 90 minutes to reach the top from the parking space, so Seefin makes an easy bagging target.
Point C: S25466 04916
