What is recorded here
Exposed in the cliff-face about 250m N of Cloghane, on the W side of Brandon Bay, is a very small shell midden consisting of about 12 cockle shells in a dark soil. It is in very poor condition, but it is possible that what is now visible is the last remnant of a larger deposit. (information: A. McCarthy)
