The landscape of north-west Clare is harsh and windswept. Wind-bent trees, dry-stone walls and low solidly-built cottages characterise this part of Ireland. These characteristics have evolved and been influenced by the local materials and conditions. One of most enduring features of this landscape is the use of the local flagstone, locally called Liscannor stone, used in farm walls, houses, paving, flooring and on roofs.
The name 'Liscannor stone' does not relate to an individual quarry, it is used for a number of fissile sandstones that have been worked in the area around the Cliffs of Moher and Liscannor village. More specifically the stone is described as Moher, Luogh and Doonagore slate, flag and flagstone after the quarries from which they are taken. The genric name Liscannor probably arose because all these sources shipped stone from Liscannor pier.
This cache is in the heart of Liscannor village not amongst the Liscannor flag stones but amongst the pebbles that surround the lovely shrubs in the raised shrub beds made of you guessed it ;) .. Liscannor Stone.
The cache is not in the stone wall.
It is in the flower bed. It is fully accessible from the public path.
