An Cloch na Garen

The stone that doesn't move
marks the tides,
is on the shore,
is in the sea.

 

 

The first line translates the title. It is a rock in the sea near Inis Bo Finne that emerges as the tide falls. The fisherman use it to note the state of the tide. They are wary when it is submerged, and wary near it when it is not.
