Rosses Point (Irish:Ros Cheide, meaning "promontary of the hill/assembly (trans. Cheide uncertain).") is a village in County Sligo, Ireland and also the name of the surrounding peninsula. The point guards Sligo Harbour and is marked by the Metal Man lighthouse, a 3.7 metre (12 ft) high guardian statue placed offshore by local seafarers in 1821 and maintained by the Commissioners of Irish Lights.
