For further information #DownpatrickHead was also taken by old English aristocracy to this day the Irish government are silent 🤫about this.
Duke of Devonshire's exclusive Mayfair bookshop occupied as fury grows over his decision to raise rents to Irish farmers from £500 to £5,000
His ancestors stole this land in 1753; this mad rent rise will force farmers off land that they have cultivated for hundreds of years

Downpatrick Head: Ireland’s Dramatic Sea Stack of Dún Briste
▶️ Standing defiantly against the Atlantic’s fury, Downpatrick Head in County Mayo is a geological marvel where history, legend, and raw natural power collide.
Have you ever witnessed a sea stack that tells a 350-million-year story?
▶️ Formation Story
Dún Briste, or "Broken Fort," is a 45-meter-tall sea stack located 80 meters off Downpatrick Head.
According to local lore
it was severed from the mainland in 1393 during a violent storm, stranding a pagan chieftain who refused to convert to Christianity after St. Patrick struck the ground with his crozier.
Historical records suggest
the residents were rescued using ships’ ropes. This dramatic separation left behind a flat-topped tower, now a haven for seabirds and a symbol of nature’s relentless force.
▶️ Geological Information
The cliffs and Dún Briste were formed approximately 350 million years ago during the Lower Carboniferous Period, when warm, shallow seas covered what is now Ireland.
The layered, sedimentary rock
of the sea stack, primarily limestone, reflects deposition in a tropical marine environment far from today’s coastline.
Contrary to some claims
the stack itself did not take millions of years to form as a distinct feature; geologists estimate its separation from the mainland occurred rapidly, likely within tens to hundreds of thousands of years, with the 1393 storm accelerating erosion through an existing arch.
The surrounding cliffs
showcase stratified rock, with visible striations highlighting millennia of sedimentation.
Nearby, Poll na Seantainne
a dramatic blowhole, plunges into the ocean, carved by relentless wave action eroding weaker rock layers.
The area’s geology
part of Ireland’s diverse tectonic history, traces back to the collision of Laurentia and Gondwana, forming the supercontinent Pangaea.
▶️ Interesting Fact
In 1980, scientists, including Dr. Seamus Caulfield, landed on Dún Briste’s summit by helicopter, discovering remnants of two medieval stone buildings and a quern stone used for grinding corn.
This suggests the stack
was inhabited or used agriculturally before its separation, offering a rare glimpse into life on this now-isolated rock.
