Dún Briste
An aerial photograph of Downpatrick Head and Dún Bhriste shows the ruins of two houses on the seastack. These are now only accessible by helicopter.
They date from the fourteenth century when a storm caused some of the land to collapse and the island to form with the inhabitants stranded.
