Hag's Head

Hag's Head is the name given to the most southerly point of the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Ireland, where the cliffs form an unusual rock formation that resembles a woman's head looking out to sea.

A local legend relates how an old hag or sea-witch, Mal of Malbay, fell in love with the Irish hero, Cú Chulainn and chased her would-be suitor across Ireland.

[1] Cú Chulainn escaped by hopping across sea stacks as if they were stepping stones.

Until the early 19th century, it was the site of a promontory fort known as Mothar or Moher.
