The Burren

The "Famine Walls"

"There were rock walls built on them that went nowhere and served no purpose
They are called the 'famine walls'
They were built during the famine in Ireland when the Brits,
when trying to break the spirits of the Irish
and have them renounce their Catholicism,
made the men, women and children build these walls"
