- Ceann de na bairillí a bhíodh in usáid ar mhaithe le huisce úr a thabhairt isteach go dtí an tOileán Iarthach, áit nach raibh aon fhíoruisce a chothódh na coimeádaithe solais ar an oileán. Nuair a bhíodh triomach ann, thugtaí isteach bairillí uisce i gcurach. Ar an gcreig seo i mBun Gabhla, ghearr fir oibre ó Choimisinéirí Soilse na hÉireann - 'Irish Lights' a deirtí - dhá bhulláin amach as an gcloch. Ritheadh an t-uisce as an tobar in aice láimhe - Tobairín an Chladaigh - isteach sna bulláin. Líontaí na bairillí as na bulláin seo.

- Additional information
- As Oileán Iarthach has no fresh water, barrels of springwell water were filled from this man-made pool to supply Eeragh Lighthouse via currach.
