The cache is located just outside the Templecorran ruins and
graveyard in the small village of Ballycarry.
The ruins are the remains of one of the earliest Presbyterian
churches in Ireland, and house the remains of the Irelands first
Presbyterian Minister, the Rev. Edward Brice.
It also contains an ornate memorial to James Orr, the Bard of
Ballycarry, foremost of the Ulster Weaver Poets and a contemporary
of Robert Burns.
The title for the cache itself comes from local folklore, which
has it that the attendance at the local Church of Ireland services
were so low due to the majority of the community being Scots and
Presbyterian, that the Dean, Jonathan Swift began one of his
sermons with the words "Dearly beloved Roger...", Roger being his
manservant.
The area still values of its Scots heritage, with the annual
Broadisland Gathering festival being held every every year to
celebrate all things Ulster Scots.
