Some years ago the local branch of the Knights of Columbanus
erected a cross on top of the hill and Mass is celebrated there
once a year. More recently stations of the cross were erected along
the path to the cross and a re-enactment of the stations of the
cross takes place once a year on Good Friday.
To reach the cache location, take the road immediately behind
the Pub - Dixon's of Meenlaragh - follow this road to the waypoint
N 55.08.571 W 008.11.321 where the road forks, keep to the righ
here and continue up the hill until you come to a cattle grid.
Unless you are driving a 4x4 or a tractor it is advisable to park
here and then follow the track (now untarred) until the next fork
and keep right again. At the rosary garden (Paidirín) follow the
tarred path past the stations of the cross. You are nearly at the
cache location now. You will have noticed an alternative tarred
roadway near the rosary garden but it passes through private
property and is only open for public access on Good Friday.
The Cache is a 0.25L tablock box containing a
log book and pencil and 4-5 small swapable items.
Please make sure you replace the stone to the left of the actual
cache as you return the cache to it's hiding place as otherwise it
could be exposed from a certain angle! Thank you
Don't forget your camera as there are fantastic views from top
of the hill, including the islands of Innisboffin, Tory and
Aranmore, the Derryveagh Mountains and Horn Head.
