Asheville Ogham Stone Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

charchoc: Archiving as the bike park is closing, so wncsteph, tigercash, RossCo.22 and myself removed this and other cache containers in the park.
Great hike today and so sad that this great spot will no longer be used for caching, hiking or biking.
Thank you all for visiting this and the other caches in the park!

Geocache Description:


Cache is not located at posted coordinates.

You will need a permanent marker to sign log.

I recently visited the Coumeenoole Ogham Stone on the Dunmore headland, very near the western tip of the Dingle Peninsula, County Kerry, Ireland.

N52 06.617, W10 28.388

328 feet above the Atlantic Ocean.

It has been dated to the early centuries A.D..

There are curious marks on the stone and with a little research I was able to decipher them.

 

Looking at the stone closer I found that there was another set of marks on the back edges of the stone.

This newly discovered set led me somewhere else.

Here is what I found: See photos.
