Geocache Description:


The Corncrake (Crex crex) is an iconic bird of the Irish countryside. It's Latin name is derived from the sound the male makes when looking for a mate. They arrive from Africa in the spring and nest in meadows. The chicks are black and sadly the numbers have declined over the years. They may be predated by cats, mink, etc.

Landowners in this area work together with the National Parks & Wildlife Service to manage the land and preserve cover.

The disused building behind the posted coordinates is the Old Pound. If the tenant was in arrears the landlord impounded the tenant's cow until such time as the rent was paid!
