Geocache Description:

Tomhaggard, south county Wexford.

The historic village of Tomhaggard was been in existence since 1245.


The Penal Day Mass-house here is the only thatched one still existing in Ireland today. It was used for mass after the slaying of the parish priest, Fr.Nicholas Mayler, at the local Mass Rock on Christmas morning in 1653.


You should be standing in Saint Anne's Grotto, below the Penal Mass-house. There are steps leading up to the little church with a wooden railing along their right side. How many vertical posts support this along it's length? Call this answer A.

Next, proceed to the Sailor's Home via the ruins of the 13th century church. It is located at N52 12.939 W6 29.536 . This is where many unknown sailors, washed ashore locally are laid to rest. You should now be standing near an anchor and conifer, surrounded by a circle of stones. How many stones make up it's circumference? Make this answer B.

Use your two answers in the following to bring you to the final location:

N52° 12.880 + A
W6° 29.340 + B

The cache is a 35mm film canister. BYOP. Please re-hide and cover carefully to keep out of view.
