Fires on Bray Head expose amazing World War 2 landmark EIRE 8! This landmark had been completely covered by the gorse on Bray Head and amazingly it is still in reasonable condition.
"The signs were built by the Coast Watching Service by the summer of 1944 to warn "belligerent" aircraft that they were flying over a neutral country. Up to 150 tons of stone were used in some of the 83 signs dotted around the coast of Ireland. At the request of the United States air force the number of the nearby lookout post was added, turning the signs into air navigation aids. This assisted American bomber pilots in navigating across the Atlantic." Ref Michael Kennedy - Guarding Neutral Ireland.
