The are several glacial erratics around that the locals called the giants' footballs.
We saw an entrance to a new stone age burial chamber from about 3000 BC.
We only saw a small part of the area and will go back tomorrow to see more if the weather allows.

The Burrens
Sheelagh and Von were both very good at searching out interesting things to see on our trips together and today was a good example of their sleuthing. The Burrens. During the carboniferous era this area was a lush tropical ocean with a wide variety of life forms that were pressed down into a layer of lime stone that has been shaped by water and wind ever since.
