Number 5 of the series
You will need a litre of water for the mystery cache so please take one with you or an empty bottle that you can fill from the well. All will become clear
The series around Wilcrick contains 7 caches including the bonus cache. There is some nice scenery on offer and the walk is only just under 2 miles.
Please keep dogs on a lead.
To the southeast of the village is Wilcrick Hill which was a hillfort, of which the earthworks remain. Archaeological evidence, in the form of a small Iron Age settlement found preserved under peat at Barland's Farm, suggests that the occupiers probably moved inland, from the lower lying and wetter Gwent Levels, with their grazing cattle, when water-levels rose in the autumn, possibly to the hillfort which overlooks the site.
Nearby, a nearly complete 3rd century Romano-British oak boat was found beside a buried stone and timber quay in 1993, during the building of a distribution depot at the Gwent Europark. This suggests that much higher water levels prevailed on the Gwent Levels at the time.
Parking available near the trail head or on the grass verge at coordinates N51 35.239 W 2 51.731 There is room for about 4 cars.
Final cache no longer a mystery as forgot to add the clues into the new logs.. oops. N 51° 35.395 W 002° 51.663
