Situated 80 meters from the Irish shore is an impressive sea stack known as Dun Briste or the ‘Broken Fort’. It is an astonishing formation in the sense that it allows you to see layer upon layer of multicolored rock strata. The cliffs in the area, including the stack were formed in the Lower Carboniferous period, a geological term applied to a period about 350 million years ago, when sea temperatures around Ireland were much higher than today.
