O'Brien Country
The Burren National Park, north easterly from the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare. The Burren ("rocky land" in Gaelic) is a limestone karst region.
Several prehistoric burial tombs, like the Poulnabrone Dolmen bear testimony to past inhabitants.
This portal dolmen of Poulnabrone shows with what pomp and ceremony the prehistoric Burren-dwellers buried their chiefs.
