This cache has been archived.

Jfrost: I've been lead to believe this one was removed by tidy towns in Mullagh, so rather then temp disable I'm going to close it down.

I'll find a new one in the area as soon as I can..

Mullagh (Irish: An Mullach, meaning "The Mound") is a village (and a parish) in County Cavan province of Ulster, Ireland. It had a population of 679 in 2006. It lies in the south-east of the county, at the junction of the R191 and the R194 regional roads near the town of Virginia, County Cavan and the border with Kells, County Meath and the village of Moynalty.

It contains a heritage centre dedicated to St Kilian, who was born in Mullagh c 640 and was martyred in Würzburg, Germany in circa 689. The centre also has an exhibition related to ogham script and the development of illuminated manuscripts.
Mullagh Roman Catholic Church

The Roman Catholic Church, located 400m from the village on the Virginia Road (R194), is named in memory of its patron Saint Kilian. Ruins of an earlier church "Teampeall Ceallaigh" remain in what is now part of the Church of Ireland grounds located further along the same road, approx 600m.

The village is situated approximately 2 kilometers from the border with County Meath and Leinster which is marked by the River Borora which flows into the Owenroe River at Mullagh bridge.

Lakeview Gardens overlooking the Mullagh lake, just off the Virginia road is open to the public, check website for details (www.lakeviewgardens.net).
