This is an old Trinity House buoy formerly used to mark Harry Furlong's Rocks (Harry Furlough on the OS map) at Cemlyn Bay. A local character named 'Harris' is reputed to have extinguished beacon lights that marked the rocks at Cemlyn, thus wrecking them on the rocks. The rocks were a furlong distance from the shore. Over time the name is supposed to have changed to Harry Furlough (Furlong) Rocks. The stone beacon was changed to a green conical buoy in the late 1960's. [SH3394]
