EIRE38 – Dunmore Head – Sign on Great Blasket Island

The nearest look out post to the Blasket Islands is Dunmore Head which is on the mainland. It was LOP number 38. There wasn’t a LOP on the Great Blasket that I was aware of and most signs were linked with the nearest LOP hence the classification. At the moment, it does not look to me as though the number is intact for this location so I cannot confirm absolutely.

Location on Google is clouded over.

EIRE74 – Croghy Head

This sign has recently been restored and I do not have an aerial photograph of it yet. However, I have received a number of photographs of the restored sign, and the work in progress to restore it for which I am very grateful to the three photographers concerned whose names you’ll find under their photographs.

Two signs were built on Slieve League, of which all that remains is this part next to a carpark.

This sign is almost impossible to see on the aerial photographs but it has been renovated at some point.
