Geocache Description:


Visit the new Geocaching Ireland discussion forum HERE



Start from Tibradden car park (N53 14.567 W006 17.684) Follow the track and trail upwards to N 53 14.320 W 006 16.824, which is the location of the grave referre to in the cache name. Remains and Bronze-age vessel were found here in 1849, and a "passage grave" erected on the spot. Whether the new edifice was built on the site of an older grave is not known, hence the misgivings in the cache name.

Whatever the date of the earliest tomb on Tibradden, genuine passage graves from the 3rd millenium BC stand on several adjacent mountain tops - Newgrange can be seen on a clear day (the bearing is just over the Papal Cross in the Phoenix Park).

The cache is just South of East when viewed from the centre of the grave.

The cache is not hidden in the passage grave - please do not disturb the stones in the vicinity of the grave!

Nov 2014: The original logbook is still in the container after almost 9 years. This is a busy location so please hide the box very carefully to ensure Hezekiah's original work is maintained, Thanks!
