This is located in County Mayo in the Republic of Ireland at Downpatrick Head. During WWII, the Irish government declared neutrality and set up 80 lookout posts around the coastline, connected by telephone, to monitor and report all sea traffic to the Irish Coast Guard. There were also these markings either cut into the turf or simply an arrangement of rocks as a warning to American aircraft that they had reached neutral Ireland having crossed the Atlantic Ocean.
Nearby is a longtime tourist attraction: Dún Briste Sea Stack.
