Description: "The Burren and the Aran Islands form a region renowned for its geology, flora and archaeology. Possibly the greatest interest is in its archaeology but the ancient monuments are often perceived as shrouded in mystery and beyond explanation. Recent studies, however, have shed considerable light on the functions of these monument and the people who built them. This book presents these archaeological interpretations in an attractive and engaging manner"--Provided by publisher.
