The Bronze Age passage grave, known as Fairy Castle, on the summit of Two Rock Mountain in the Dublin Mountains. At an altitude of 536m, it's one of the highest situated megalithic monuments in the region and is visible from a wide area around the county. The entrance to the passage was once described by locals as a "cave" but can no longer be seen (it has probably disappeared below the peat bog), although a small depression on one side of the mound may mark its location. It also marks the highest point on the Dublin Mountains Way
