There is an impressive megalithic cairn on Seefin. It is still possible to enter it, although the roof has collapsed at the centre.   Seefin is the 255th highest place in Ireland. Seefin is the second most southerly summit in the Dublin area.

Can't add much to what is already on here. Seefin is a very handy and direct walk from just south of the entrance to Kilbride Firing Range where the range meets the forest. A flagpole at the entrance indicates whether firing is taking place or not. From the road, it's simply a case of following the well beaten track all the way to the lairge summit cairn/passage-tomb which is something of a mini-Newgrange. Walked as the first top on the Kilbride circuit but I'd suggest leaving it until last on this circuit as it definitely is the most interesting of the passage tombs.
