The lane takes its name from a spring, which was an early source of drinking water for the inhabitants. As the lane rises up over the streetscape, you pass the former Courtmacsherry Coastguard Station with its distinctive central watchtower that commands the bay. First occupied in 1867, it was reported to be the heaviest fortified station in Ireland at the time. The grounds on which Signal Hill sit, were formerly part of the Coastguard Station. The house takes its name from a permanent flagstaff which stood at the highest point of the site. Prior to the development of wireless stations in the early 1900s, shore-to-ship communication was done via a system of flag signals to ships within visual range.LOCATIONCourtmacsherry is a sheltered harbour village with some of West Cork's finest scenery and is located between the popular tourist towns of Kinsale and Clonakilty.
