Summary

A modern colour photograph (re-photographed from a print) of the house associated with the **O'Sullivan Seer** ("the Seer O'Sullivan" / an Sáirséalach-type Beara prophet figure) at **Carraig a Phréacháin** ("rock of the raven"), on the Beara peninsula. A yellow rendered two-storey cottage with a slate roof, palms and a cottage garden, set against a Beara hillside. Connects the archive's Beara folklore strand to a specific, still-standing place. No family persons depicted; relevance is the folklore-geography of the homeland.

  • Pin the exact townland/location of Carraig a Phréacháin within Beara (likely near Eyeries/Ardgroom). Add a canonical place entry if it proves family-adjacent. Who exactly is "the O'Sullivan Seer," and is there any family tie or only homeland folklore? Cross-check against the Beara reference books and the "Stories from Beara" papers.
