Letterkenny Heritage #3 Traditional Cache

The courthouse was built in 1831 and was built on top of the jail cells that were already in use at the time. The hiring fair also occurred in the surrounding area. This was where young boys and girls were hired out to work on farms in Donegal and other areas of the country. This happened from the late 18th century to part of the 20th century.

Coordinates may be off because of bad satellite reception. The cache is located near the Old Letterkenny Courthouse.

It is recomended that you park at the Courtyard Car Park to complete this series of caches, as it is a central parking location.

The cache is a black magnetic micro. BYOP (Bring Your Own Pen) and please be mindful of muggles and please replace the cache to the location where you found it.

I created this series of caches to help the geocaching community of Letterkenny to grow and to introduce other geocachers to the history of Letterkenny. It is a great town and I hope these caches help people enjoy all of the different things it has to offer.

Congratulations to AerobaticAndy for the First To Find!

Information for the Letterkenny Heritage #5 cache:

Look at the Tourist Information sign. Take the first letter of the first Gaelic word at the top of the sign and translate this letter into the number it is in the English alphabet. For example, if the letter was a n, its number would be 14. This number will then be put into the Letterkenny Heritage #5 cache's correct coordinates in slot D.
