The Men Brial fire (in Breton: Ar Mên Brial), is a fire located in the entrance to the port of Île-de-Sein. The etymology of the Breton name Mên Brial is uncertain, it could derive from the name brezhell (mackerel) pronounced brehell on the island of Sein. Another hypothesis, krial meaning to cry, perhaps the women came to mourn the peris at sea at the exit of the port (Mên Grial)
It replaces a landmark, now destroyed, which was at the same location.
It is a cylindrical turret on a pedestal painted white.
