The Burren

“It was then, as it is now, a land of grey stone…”
“…The fields were paved with it…”
“… the mountains… spiralling terraces of gleaming limestone…”
“…they built miles of stone walls to enclose their small stony fields…”
“…huge dolmens, silhouetted against the sky like the tables of some giant race…”
“…they built great fortified dwelling places: cathair…
“…tall grey tower houses…”
“…monasteries and churches…”
“…by the Burren on the western seaboard of Ireland”
