The history of the Stone Bank goes back to prehistoric times. It was created by the Bronze Age people who lived and worked in the Burren. Probably used as a meeting place or a place for ceremonies, the bank is a fascinating example of the ancient cultures that lived in this region.
The Stone Bank walk starts near St Fachtna's Holy Well and passes through the beautiful Burren countryside. Along the way you will see a variety of geological formations and plant species that only grow in this unique environment.
