Huge passage tomb on top of the Wicklow mountains

This large passage tomb sits at 1700 feet above sea level high up in the Wicklow Mountains. It measures 75 feet in diameter, is 18 feet high, the passageway is 30 feet long, and leads to 5 compartments. This was an incredible feat of engineering 5000 years ago and would be extremely difficult to build even today. The name ‘Seefin’ translates to mean the ‘Seat of Fionn’ in Irish and the tomb has been mentioned in ancient stories as being the entrance to the otherworld and home of the Gods. It has also been symbolized as the belly of a pregnant woman where the passage is the birth passage and the chamber is the womb. There are 2 decorated stones at the entrance that have faint megalithic artwork on them. One theory of why places like these were chosen for tombs was that the original builders could claim ownership over all they see by placing their ancestors far above the lands.
