Geocache Description:


Carrowkeel Schoolhouse steeped in history found in the National Archives, this preserved building goes back to 1821 when it was built and had an extension added in 1832 due to the volume of schoolchildren at that time,the surviving structure is the said extension .Back then this school was both Catholic And Church of Ireland and the teachers were Mr & Mrs BLake of Menlo Castle in Galway ( this Castle ruins on  the shore of the river Corrib has its own Geocache)  As there was no other school adjacent to this area no  nearer than  Cong this school was extremely crowded  hence the extension in 1832 by the Kildare Society,  Of more significance to me there was a thatched cottage adjoining this structure and this is where i was born.  The  cache is a camo left of door and right of window,  You can incorporate this on your way to the SeanBothair Old Road Cache 

 

Its quite alright to cross the chain in front of this building .I am the owner ,
