Geocache Description:


On the 20th April 1788 the Select Vestry of Carrickmacross Parish decided to build a new church to replace the existing Magheross Church. The ruin of the old church still stands near the junction of the Kingscourt and old Ardee Roads. The new church cost £600 and was part funded from the sale of the slates, timber, windows and doors of the old church and partly from the charging of pew rents. A wooden spire was added to the church in 1795 which was replaced with the present stone one in 1804. The clock was placed in the tower in 1799 and in 1812 the bell was moved from the old church to the new one. Both bell and clock were replaced in 1914.

The cache is near the gates of the old church at Magheross, It is a magnetic nano. This is an extremely busy area so stealth will be required. There is no parking at GZ as the road is too narrow. You should find ample parking within 100 of the cache
