Geocache Description:


There are two great things to see here, firstly the archway from the original town walls that still stand and driven through on the slightly smaller modes of transport which was used way back when.

The North Gate, or ‘the Arch’. It has stood here at the junction with the Tuam road for over 400 years. A fortified town has fortified gates and Athenry had at least five others dating from around the early 1300s, when the walls first existed. Passing through The Arch along North Gate Street towards the town centre, observe what once were typical two-storey houses, now with commercial frontages and the taller masonry 19th-century elevation. Turn left into the Market Square, which is at the heart of Athenry

Secondly is the ‘Kebab’ this was sculpted by the Artist John Langan with the assistants of Children of Carnaun National School the official name of the sculpture is ‘A Monument to Small Things’ although most know it as the kebab. Take a bit time and see what unusual things you can see here

 

To Qualify:

Find the Gameboy and take a quick snap along with yourself or something showing the date of your visit.
