It is located at the mouth of Carlingford Lough in the townland of Cranfield, County Down . It was once the site of the Cranfield Point lighthouse , marking the entrance to the lough. Its poor position led to the construction of the Haulbowline Lighthouse situated in the middle of the entrance to Carlingford Lough.

The lighthouse keeper s cottage remained and was later converted into a private residence that can still be seen today, identified by its characteristic tall black chimneys. coord 54.0166 N 6.06 W display title region GB type city source GNS enwiki Down geo stub County Down Category Headlands of County Down nn Cranfield Point ... more details

Unreferenced date June 2007 Charles Charlie Hurley lang ga Cathal Muirthile born in the village of Kilbrittain , he was Officer Commanding of the 3rd Cork Brigade West Cork of the Irish Republican Army during the Irish War of Independence 1919 1921 . In his adolescence Hurley became a clerk working for the government. In 1905 he was offered a promotion and a transfer to Haulbowline Island . He declined on the grounds that this entailed enlisting in the Royal Navy albeit in a purely administrative role. Hurley led the disastrous Upton Train Ambush on February 15, 1921, in which three IRA men and six civilians were killed. Hurley was also badly wounded in the face. He was killed in action by United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland British troops just before the Crossbarry Ambush in March 1921. Hurley was staying in a house with a pro republican family.Where he was recuperating from serious wounds he had received at Upton month earlier. When he realised that he was surrounded by the British forces he fled the house, as Tom Barry comments in his book, to reduce the danger to those in the house. Barry remarks that Hurley, went to meet his death like a true Irishman. A ballad exists that commemorates him. In addition, the Gaelic Athletic Association GAA grounds in Bandon, County Cork Bandon are named after him.
