This coast from Cuan Sound to is in many places foul and rocky for 1.5 cables of it. , a rock above water, one cable from the shore, and 3.5 cables northward of the entrance to Cuan Sound, is surrounded by foul ground, which extends 1.5 cables south-westward from it. Coirebhreacain and Cuan Sound are seldom attempted except near slack water.
