What a lovely day to take a little visit to our West coast and to Mayo in particular. It is a part of the Island that is very popular from a tourism perspective. I believe it is on the Wild Atlantic Way which we have seen become more and a part of our tourism offering over the past 10 to 15 years.

I can't get a streetview from up on the hill, but this one is the right sightline: across the water with the peak of Croagh Patrick just left of thet bend in the coast road.

None of the houses visible are any help for dating per the NIAH.

When checking the catalogue near the one below, I commented: No dateable shots in the archive nearby. 1281 is achill with a brand new station of 1895.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland] He is. Well, sort of ... Mr French / Lawrence had two Royal plates of the same view, but I haven't found the Cabinet size yet - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000325776 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000325779 Edit - and another Royal with different titling - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000322052 AND there is a not-quite-reverse-ish view trifecta - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000329534 Imperial catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000325781 Royal catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000333469 Cabinet - which all have a side-car and jarvey which looks a lot like young Mr Jaunty ?? Early 1890s ??

The folly on the hill www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/31211...

The crenelated building just to the left of the great crack is still there, but the grounds seem to have been neglected. Streetview As is the big house near the shore further along

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/29809546@N00/] That would be Cherry Cottage www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/31211... I think that folly atop the hill belonged to it. Occupied by various Land Agents for the Marquesses of Sligo

https://www.flickr.com/photos/32162360@N00/ The houses on the other side of the bay in the reverse views are all dated 1841 - 1897, rather a wide range, which probably just means they were absent on the 6” and shown on the 25”
