Geocache Description:

At the given coordinates you will get a great view over the roofs of Kilfinane to the Golden Vale but you will not find the cache there. That said you should not ignore the coordinates. Do not bother Dr Google or any of its colleagues as I cannot see how they would help.


In the year 1897 Kilfinane represented Limerick and won the All Ireland hurling title.

About 800 people live in the town of Kilfinane.

A busy tidy towns group works hard to maintain the appearance of the town.

Above the town on 3 sides are the Ballyhoura Mountains.

Land south and west of Kilfinane is in the Golden Vale.

It is remarkable that both churches are called St. Andrews.

It is in the centre of Munster.

 

The town has a charter so it is incorrect to call it a village.

About 800 A.D. St Fionan founded a church to begin a long history of churches in the town.

There is great debate as to whether the moat (at given coordinates) was residential or ceremonial.

9 roads lead out of (or in to) Kilfinane.

In the late 1700’s John Wesley (founder of the Methodists) preached on 6 occasions in the town.

For an inhabitant of the town it is very discombobulating to see the name spelled with a double n.

Congratulations to Limerick Riddler for both first to solve and first to find
