The burren

One of the most beautiful parts of Ireland.  The burren is pure rock and has plants growing there that can be found on theother side  of the world and nowhere else on Ireland. There are plants from the Mediterranean and artic that grow next to each other. Common belief is that it was once a glacier.  The word "Burren" comes from the Irish word "BoĆ­reann" which translates to a rocky place. The last one is of a couple skulls I found in an old monastery while digging around with the O'loughlin kids.
