Geocache Description:

This cache is placed on a Place called Castle Hill in Ardkeen. This is a local site and has no marked enterance or walkway. Need to park at roadside. This is a public right of way but still goes through fields so please be careful to walk close to edges to avoid any crop damage.


When you get to the cache site you will be met with the most outstanding panoramic views of Strangford Lough. Views which take in everything from Scrabo right down the lough to Strangford. You can see the millennium stone at killyleagh too.

The cache was a standard 35mm micro hidden on the hill itself, this has been replaced with a nano containing only a log and pencil stub. After you have found the cache take time to go back down the hill to the ancient cemetery it is well over grown but I found some of the old headstones very interesting.

I have marked co-ords for parking, this is at a gateway and may be in use at times so please use your own discretion. An alternative 'off road' parking spot about 40 M from the trail head has been added, but there is no footpath or verge between this parking and the trail.

This is an archaeological site. You do not need to move any stones.
