Muckross Head EIRE Sign

EIRE laid out in white painted stones as it would have been during WWII. These were coastal markers showing the neutral coastline of Ireland. They also acted as navigation markers for pilots. This was recently restored and does not have a number. Number 71 is located at Sliabh Liag and 70 at St. John's Point.
