Some Cape Clear townland names to be seen on stone markers around the island.
Cape Clear - Oileán Cléire is a gaeltacht (Irish speaking) island, the most southerly inhabited place in Ireland and is a mecca for birdwathchers both because of the immnense numbers of passing birds during the migration season and because of North American strays blown in to reach a first landfall in Europe e.g. a Blue Winged Warbler brought in by the tail end of a hurricane on Tuesday, 3rd October 2000.

Cape Clear is the most southerly inhabited place in Ireland and Blananarrigan (in photo) is the most sorutherly point on Cape Clear
