Geocache Description:

Small cache placed near The Pyramid. There is room for small items. BYOP


Kinnitty Pyramid, the only one of its kind in Ireland, is situated in the graveyard of the Church of Ireland in the village and is visible from Ardmore House bed and breakfast. It stands 30 feet in height and was built as a crypt by Lt. Col Richard Wesley Bernard for his family on his return from Egypt in the mid 1800's. It is an exact replica of the Pyramid of Cheop in Egypt. Building began in 1830 and was completed in 1834. It is permanently sealed now. The doors are 3 inches in width and made of steel that lead down 5 steps to the inside tomb. There are 6 coffins belonging to the Bernards of Kinnity Castle. The first was Mary Bernard and the last burial took place in 1907.
