This geocache is hidden in the vicinity of the Round Tower in Antrim.
The Round Tower and Witch's Stone are impressive reminders of Antrim’s ancient monastic settlement. The tower was built around the 10th century as a bell-tower for protection from raiders and is known locally as The Steeple. It is 28 metres tall and is one of the finest of its kind in Ireland. The monastery at Antrim is often linked with the monastic settlement at Bangor with references from the early 7th century. It was probably founded by St. Aebh in 495 AD although Comgall (Bangor's founder) and Durtacht have also been suggested. In response to a raid on the settlement at Bangor, St. Comgall's remains were moved to Antrim. The Annals report that the site was destroyed in 1018 and finally burned in 1147.
The geocache is a small photo roll container and only contains a logbook, so BYOP.
