From memory, that'd be the row of houses behind the pub in Kilronan, but I don't remember the church.

Edit: Hmm. They look different in Streetview: www.google.ie/maps/@53.118742,-9.66893,3a,19.6y,300.22h,9...

Yep. Google image search seems pretty clear that it's Kilronan

Here's the overhead view: www.google.ie/maps/@53.1219282,-9.6693247,644m/data=!3m1!1e3

It's not very clear in the overhead, but there's another bit sticking out at the far end, so we're looking E-S-E here.

The trials and tribulations of island life as felt by the poor auld cattle. It goes to show that horns on steers had their uses after all. If you can control the animals head you can control the animal! The poor thing must have been terrified?

Swordscookie Presumably fairly traumatic! And it can't have been much fun for the men either.

oh the horror! : (

Seems I read something about this in Tomás Ó Crohan's 'The Islandman' ... brutal, but what else to be done? Why, 'tis enough to curdle a cow's milk for life, and scare the hair of any self respecitng bull.

cuisle west ... away awhile Presumably it was a case of "Thank God we're surrounded by water!" except when we have to transport livestock...

I think the “young lady” on the right is actually a young laddie.

Flickr is Always a Total Disappointment!! In 2016 via Bradley Davis who also has the three other sides -

Carol Maddock The "gaffe" has been hooked and landed appropriately!

Maybe photo needs to be reversed. The chip off the old block on the lower right hand side is on left side of the photo BeachcomberAustralia linked.
