JeppFD strangely enough shows Blackrock but with an elevation of only 46' - anybody else confirm?
The elevation of 46' is more like the elevation of Blacksod which is 43'.
I am convinced there was a mix up between Blackrock and Blacksod. If you look at Wikipedia Lighthouses of Ireland page, the Location coordinates for both lighthouses show Blacksod Bay.
It is quite possible that someone keyed in Blacksod Bay as a destination and did not realise that there were two lighthouses at that address and accidently chose the wrong one.
