What is recorded here

An tOileán Iarthach is a rocky islet in County Galway where a four-stage round lighthouse has watched the sea since 1857. Keepers lived in the semi-detached houses beside it, tending the flame that guided ships past the west end of Árainn. The light still burns, though a solar lamp replaced the old fire in 2006, and the small ensemble remains a vivid reminder of human hands holding back the darkness.
