Ireland - Forts of Aran

"Western Stone Forts represent the penultimate use of a distinctive settlement form i.e. the drystone, generally circular, enclosure, a class of monument that was widely used by the maritime communities of the north Atlantic seaboard of Western Europe, throughout much of later prehistory. Western Stone Forts represent the apogee of the ringfort class of monument (an enclosed farmstead occupied by an extended kin group).The distribution, character, and hierarchy of forms of ringforts provides a mirror of the organisation, economy and polity of Irish society at a particular period (AD 700-1000). Dun Aonghusa, Aran; Cahercommaun; Caherconree; Benagh; Staigue." Source: UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List

Ireland - Burren

The Burren region is an outstanding example of the continuous settlement and use of a very challenging environment - this glaciated karst landscape of the Burren - for over 6,000 years. Over this time humans have interacted with this unique environment, primarily as pastoral farmers, to yield a rich legacy of natural and cultural heritage. The fruits of this relationship include an exceptionally diverse, representative and intact archaeological record, a celebrated flora with some intriguing floristic combinations, and a set of distinctive land-management traditions, particularly the reverse-transhumance winterage tradition.

Multiview of Burren - Lemenagh Castle, Corkscrew Hill, wild flowers and Poulnabrone Dolmen. Thanks to Dee of Ireland.
