Geocache Description:

PLEASE NOTE THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE NOT THE CACHE ITSELF BUT THE LOCATION OF THE FIRST WAYPOINT



You need to fill the gaps in the below coordinates using the information obtained at the first waypoint and some simple mathematical work. I have rated the terrain as a 1.5 due to the grass and it may be unsuitable for wheelchair users as the potential for waterlogged ground is high. Difficulty is a 2 due to the mathematical calculations required.


The foundation walls are all that remains of an old church within Templecormac, a Townland within the Parish of Ballinderry.  The church is believed to have been demolished on the orders of Oliver Cromwell.

A section of the interior of the church's foundation walls is now a graveyard although with mixed denominations is largely made up of Roman Catholic plots.  There are large trees of various species taking centre stage within the graveyard.

The townland of Templecormac is was previously called Cormac's Temple as it is believed to have been founded by a Cormac Akilly.  There is believed to have been a former temple situated within the townland boundary for the education of students superintended by 3 friars.

To obtain the true coordinates for the cache please locate the tomb within the graveyard.  The family lived in 'Killultagh Cottage' (within the townland of Derrykillultagh adjoining Templecormac) and were involved in the handloom weaving industry.
