A cunningly camouflaged farmhouse on the Old Ballybracken Road near Doagh. Whilst browsing my O.S. map I noticed that the only access to J 2394 was at this point where the road just clips the bottom south-west corner for about 100 yards or so. This might explain why that rarest of Geograph prizes in this otherwise well-covered part of the country, an unclaimed First Visitor point, was up to now overlooked. The conveniently sited farmhouse gave me an accurate fix on the exact location. One of two Firsts I managed to bag on this trip, the other being in Tardree Forest a couple of miles to the west at J 1894, another otherwise well-covered area. Made the hilly and chilly winter cycle-ride worthwhile.
