| Summary: | hare n The "_Hay_-jers" Rock. This was known as the Hare's Ear Rock. That name, however, has not been used in my memory, or for long before that. Its pronunciation was corrupted to "Hay-jers", probably from being spoken very fast over a period of time. It refers to a huge rock - shaped somewhat like a hare's ear that stands about 40 ft. away from the cliff at the western end of the cove. All the fishing boats must "come round the Hay-jers" on their way home. This is the best-known of all the landmarks, and no one ever thinks about the prononciation [sic] of its name.
