Friar Island (5333'N., 1014'W.), 23m high, lies about 0.8 mile E of High Island. Friar Island Sound, a narrow passage with a depth of 9.4m at its S end, passes between Friar Island and a group of drying rocks to the E. The currents set very strongly through this sound. Cleggan Bay (5334'N., 1008'W.), between Aughrus and Cleggan promontories, is easy of access and partially protected from the prevailing swell by the islands of Inishshark and Inishbofin. Fairly good shelter is provided, especially during the summer.
