What is recorded here
This rock was in the shape of a man or fear in Irish, until the top half broke off. It was also known as the Fear Bréige which can be interpreted as a scarecrow. It is a fishing mark for trawlers.
The rock known as Fear is a coastal sea stack or pillar, formed from basalt or similar volcanic rock, likely dating to the Tertiary period. It was notable for its human-like shape, which was eroded away over time, and served historically as a navigational marker for fishing trawlers.
