330-million-year-old burrows discovered in the Burren, Co Clare 

The discovery was made by Dr Eamon Doyle, geologist for the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark and Clare County Council.

A piece of history has been uncovered in Co Clare as abandoned fossil burrows dating back 330 million years have been found in limestone rock on the coast of Doolin.

The burrows date back to 100 million years before the appearance of the first dinosaurs and come from a time when Clare had a climate that was very different to the West coast weather we are currently used to.
