Burren

'The Burren, County Clare, Éire', by Tim Robinson

'I wanted to put this field on my map, but of course there was no way of indicating what was remarkable about it on the map sheet; nor did I want to make too much of it in a land of such marvels as the Burren. In the end I marked it with a dot and in tiny print the words 'a strange field'. . . I take from this instance another modality of places: strangeness.'
