  thanks! very interesting. I guess this is the 1859 lighthouse which was being replaced by a more elaborate one in 1912.

  There are other pictures of it on flickr but I think there'd be demarcation issues that would bring out the union if I linked to one.

• beachcomber australia said:

  From The Lemur's link above - "The myth goes of mighty giants on either side of the Roughty river throwing boulders at each other. One landed on Gearran Bán where Carrigacappeen lies, and the other on Knockeirka Hill where Cloghvorragh (Cloughrock) fell."

  Demarcation be damned! In 2010 via Paddy Leahy, who says ground to top is about three metres -

  As one of those who likes them, I thank You greatly. I look forward to one day visiting Ireland, spurred on by wonderful images such as these! My eyes went immediately to that fellow, by the way. Such a wonderful image.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  only1tanuki You're very welcome! Luring visitors to our shores is an unintended (but good) side effect of our work/play here... :)

  Now a Country house hotel.

• DannyM8 said:

  Ballinalacken Castle is a two-stage tower house of uncertain date but most likely built in the 15th or early 16th century. It is located on a limestone outcrop overlooking the road from Lisdoonvarna to Fanore in County Clare, Ireland in the grounds of Ballinalacken Castle Hotel which was built in 1840 as the home of Lord O'Brien. The name is taken from the townland where it is located, the original Irish version of which is Baile na Leacan, which means the town (land) of the flagstones
