    In 1858 a rampart was constructed which shut out the sea, so that this famous strand is now a swamp covered with rushes and other water plants.
    When building the rampart the Cairns, Eochaide and the three sons Nemidh were destroyed the large stones being used to build the rampart and only a couple of little heaps of small stones at present mark these ancient graves.
