Between 1895 and 1915, Thomas J. Westropp published an outstanding series of articles, in the Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, which form the first complete survey of the prehistoric forts and dolmens of The Burren and its surrounding area in North Clare. As an archaeological record it remains unchallenged and contains detailed descriptions of hundreds of sites, accompanied by numerous line drawings and photographs by the author.

Archaeology of the Burren brings together these classic articles for the first time and will be an indispensable addition to the canon of Irish archaeology.
