rdf:langString Aughris (Irish: Eachrois, meaning 'point of the horses') is a coastal townland in County Sligo, in the west of Ireland. It is also the name given to a prominent headland that includes the townlands of Aughris, , and . The area has been settled since at least medieval times and there are several archaeological remains in the vicinity. Aughris now has a small harbour used by inshore fishermen and a public house known as Maggie May's Beach Bar. The geology of the area is limestone, with examples of fossilized coral fauna visible in exposed coastal areas. A tiny clachán-type village located close to the coast is now largely abandoned. Most existing houses cluster near the harbour and public house.
