History
Following the Irish Rebellion of 1798 watch towers and defence structures were built along the northern coast. A road was constructed to the area in the 1840s. After several iterations, in 1965, Mayo County Council started to construct a fishing pier for use by a greater number of vessels. == Geography ==
