Clarendon Cache Multi-Cache
Amy Lou C: Unfortunately I will have to archive this one as I checked on it at the weekend and the council have filled in the gap in the bridge where I had the cache. So no more cache :(

Knockvicar is a village in County Roscommon. It is located on the R285 regional road, between Boyle and Carrick-on-Shannon near Lough Key Forest Park in the north of the county. Knockvicar lies on the Arigna Scenic Drive off the N4 road from Dublin to Sligo. It is where the actress Maureen O'Sullivan spent part of her youth. At Knockvicar bridge Donal Cam O'Sullivan Bere, the Irish Chieftain, after his defeat in Cork in 1603 travelled through the village of Knockvicar where his people rested for the last time before reaching O'Rourke's castle at Leitrim village. In the late Middle Ages Knockvicar was the location of a Francisan house The Boyle River, which flows under Knockvicar bridge, connects with Lough Key via a weir and Clarendon lock gates 300m upstream. People can park near the bridge and walk along the towpath. Excavations at Kilteasheen, presently on the Riversdale Estate of Mr. and Mrs. John Burke, were undertaken by Saint Louis University and the Institute of Technology-Sligo from 2005-2009. Three deviant burials were found there, leading to the conclusion that Irish people did believe in walking deads and vampires since the beginning of the Middle Ages. Úna Burke a fashion designer from Knockvicar, was commissioned by singer Lady Gaga to make a selection of stage pieces. Reference point 1 of this multi-cache involves a short walk to Clarendon Locks.
