Hook Head (Irish: Rinn Duáin), historically called Rindowan,[2] is a headland in County Wexford, Ireland, on the east side of the estuary of The Three Sisters (Rivers Nore, Suir and Barrow). It is part of the Hook peninsula and is adjacent to the historic townland of Loftus Hall. It is situated on the R734 road, 50 kilometres (31 mi) from Wexford town.
In Irish its name was originally Rinn Dubháin, Dubhán's point, named for a 5th-century Brittonic saint of that name (literally "little black [haired] one").[3][4] The English name is possibly a calque of his name, incorrectly read as being dubán, "fishing-hook".[5][6]
