The Fairies may have missed the cairn when they were bringing this container to the top of Two Rock Mountain.They had to leave it just short of the cairn as they approached from the Glencullen area.. Maybe they were tired after a session in Johnnie Foxs pub.
The cache is a small cammo covered container with a log inside. it is not on the monument
.
Please replace in the upright position to help keep it hidden.
Watch for muggles from the 3 directions at this point
This cairn is a collapsed passage tomb and is often referred to as Fairy Castle. It sits at the highest point of ‘The Dublin Mountains’ at an altitude of 1,740 feet beside a trig point on Two Rock Mountain. The mountain takes its name from the two granite tors that lie to the south-east of the summit. It dates to the Bronze Age between c.2000BC-2500BC and is the easternmost in a series of such tombs that stretch across the Wicklow Mountains. The tomb was once known by locals as ‘The Cave’ but it has since collapsed however the belief that fairies still live within the mound still exist. There are extensive views taking in 6 counties (Wicklow, Dublin, Louth, Meath, Kildare and Down), and 3 countries (Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales). The structure is 82 feet in circumference and the mound is 7 feet high made up of granite and quartz blocks. There is no evidence that the tomb has ever been opened but archaeologists believe that the interior contains a small burial chamber…who knows what’s in there ?This cairn is a collapsed passage tomb and is often referred to as Fairy Castle.
