Dún Briste, Sea Stack at Down Patrick Head, Ballycastle
According to one legend, a pagan chieftain, named Crom Dubh, lived there. He refused to listen to St. Patrick who tried to convert him to Christianity. St. Patrick hit the ground with his crozier and the stack was separated from the mainland, leaving Crom Dubh to die there.
The sea stack known as ‘Dún Briste’ was part of the mainland until 1393 when heavy seas severed it from the mainland and the people were taken from it by means of ship’s ropes.
