  1. The Church Banks

    It is said that in olden times Kerryhead and Brandon formed one peninsula, but after a time the Atlantic waves forced an entrance forming the (entrance) inlet now known as Ballyheigue Bay.
    Old people point out many indications which confirm this story.
    On the eastern shore of the Bay, about a mile outward from the shore is a place called Teampall Fé Thuinn. This is a long line of white surf which is always visible even when the surrounding waters are quite tranquil.
