27 Knocknacloy Church of God was formed on 29th July, 1923. The churches at Eglish and Knocknacloy were originally part of the parish of Clonfeacle (also an early monastic site) and the church site there bears a remarkable resemblance to Saint Patrick's at Eglish, It is uncertain whether the church at Roan was the original church of the present parish as there was also a very early church in the townland of Knocknacloy. The only church in the parish shown on the 1609 Baronial plantation map is at Knocknacloy and as may be seen from the map it was roofless. It is clear also that the district we now call Eglish was known shown as 'Knockloh'. An inquisition of 18 June 1636 found that the 'ecclesiastical land' ac villa de Cnockclogh ('and farm of Cnockclogh') measured 2 balliboes. One of the last remaining landmarks of this site is a well, which is still known as St. Patrick's.
The cache is a 50mm screwtop container and parking is at the gate. It’s a busy road so take care.
