Dún Brist (Broken Fort, in English) sea stack, just off the coast of Co. Mayo. The stack was once connected to the mainland by an arch, which collapsed in 1393 due to heavy seas.
An alternative version of the story tells how Crom Dubh (a mere mortal in this story, but a god in others) refused to convert to Christianity. Ireland's patron saint, St Patrick, struck the arch with his staff and marooned Crom Dubh on the sea stack with his son, damning them to remain there until "the midges and the scaldcrows had eaten the flesh off their bones".
In 1980, a team landed by helicopter on the stack and found the remains of two stone buildings. Crom's house?
