This is the first cache along the route of this recently established heritage trail. I suggest that if you're going for the series, that you do them in the order listed. I will give advice from time (coloured green if you're reading on the web) on which route to take to go on to the next cache in the series. If no advice is given, assume the direct road route!
You may wish to familiarise yourself with the details of the battle before commencing on this series of caches - some of the locations visited will have a lot more meaning if you know the background of what happened here. You can read a Wikipedia account of the battle and also a first hand account of the battle itself by one of the rebels.
You're not yet on the actual route taken by the militia, but you're at the start of the 5 mile route recently recognised by Wexford council, of the soon to be signposted trail.
A nice basic cache to start you on your way. Soon after the trail begins, there's a small hump in the trail as you cross over a small brook. Your search for a small container begins here!
Advice: For the trail walker, there's nothing more pleasant than the route taken by the trail towards the west. Look out for recently planted trees - a number have been deliberately planted as part of an initiative to introduce new trees to the area. If you're driving... My advice at present is not to. I've been guaranteed that this is a public right of way, but some land owners have disputed this. I guess it's a difference of understanding of what owning property is and the public's right to use it. My advice is to leave it to the 4x4 lads who do this sort of thing with our without permission and take the tarmac route further south, briefly following national cycle route 2.
