Seefin Passage Tomb
This passage tomb is located on the summit of Seefin Mountain (621m). The tomb is covered by a huge circular cairn which is 24 metres in diameter, 3 metres in height and has a kerb of large boulders. A narrow passage, 11 meters in length, opens into a rectangular chamber, in which there are five recesses. Only some of the recesses are visible because the roof of the chamber has collapsed allowing the loose rock of the cairn to pour in. There is some artwork on the kerbstones but it is very indistinct. The tomb was excavated in 1931/32 but disappointingly produced no evidence of burials or other finds.
