The closest neighbouring summit is Seefingan (723m), which lies approximately 1.4km to the north-east across a boggy col, and possesses a large megalithic cairn of its own, which possibly marks the site of a collapsed passage tomb.
[8] Volunteers from the Wayfarers Hillwalking Club would transport "carloads of backpacks" from Dublin Castle to the point, where walkers could change out of their walking shoes into hiking boots (and put on head torches) in preparation for the upcoming off-road mountain section to Glenmalure.
[4] It, alongside other megalithic monuments on the summits of nearby Seefingan and Seahan, form part of what the Wicklow tourism office has described as "an extended network of hilltop passage tombs dotted throughout the Dublin-Wicklow area".
According to the Wicklow tourism office, over the ensuing millennia the original purpose and meaning of the passage tombs atop Seefin and Seefingan would have eventually been forgotten, and the local societies began attributing new myths and significance to the landmarks:[4] The mythological significance associated with the passage tombs at Seefin and Seefingan is revealed by the mountains' Irish names – Suí Finn and Suí Fionnagáin – meaning 'seat of Fionn', referring to the legendary hero Fionn mac Cumhaill, leader of the Fianna warrior band.
[4] As per Wicklow tourism, mac Cumhaill's connection to these mountains in particular "likely stems from the fact" that both Seefin and Seefingan are close to the valley of Glenasmole, "famed as a favourite hunting-ground of the Fianna".
