Geocache Description:

A cache and dash just outside Newcastle Emlyn.
The cache is very close to a minor back road, although the road is usually fairly quiet, care should still be taken with children.

This cache has been hidden as part of a series, marking nearby ROC posts.

The Royal Observers Corps [ROC] built 1563 underground monitoring posts. With the start of the cold war and the increasing threat of nuclear attack in the 1950's, the ROC was given the added responsibility of reporting nuclear bursts and monitoring fall-out which necessitated the construction of 1563 underground monitoring posts throughout Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

To give fall-out protection, the new ‘monitoring rooms’ would be constructed underground, usually at the same location as the aircraft monitoring post which usually took the form of a pre-cast concrete (Orlit) or brick room often raised a few feet off the ground to aid visibility.

Please note that the nearby ROC post is on private property, in a farmers field but can see from the gateway. Please do not enter the compound or go over the gate as it is private property. Thank you.
