Bunratty Castle
Bunratty Castle is located in Clare County in Bunratty Village, Ireland. The castle sits alongside the Ratty River. In 970 AD, the site was used as a Viking Trading Camp. There were three previous castles on the site, with the current castle built in the 15thcentury by the MacNamara family. During a battle in 1475, the castle fell into the hands of the O’Brien family and served as their stronghold. The O’Briens were granted the title ‘Earls of Thomond’ by King Henry VIII, but eventually, the O’Briens surrendered the estate to Cornwellian troops. The castle was granted to many plantation families over the years. In 1804, the Studdart family left the castle, and it fell into disrepair. In 1954, Viscount Lord Gort purchased the castle, and with the help from the Office of Public Works, the Irish Tour Board, and Shannon Development, restoration began. The castle is a single tower house with three floors in the main building, a great hall, and two large square towers built with gray stone. The castle is situated within a 26-acre folk park. Bunratty Castle was open to the public in 1962 as a National Monument. The castle has over 450 pieces of medieval furniture and objects on display. The castle does not have a restaurant or a gift shop, but these can be found in the folk park. The castle does offer a four-course medieval banquet dinner show. The Folk Park has reconstructions of historical cottages and buildings within a 19thcentury style village main street with actors. The area is frequented by families, tourists, and schools. Today, Bunratty Castle is owned and operated by the Irish government.

Irish Sand Volcano This is a cross section of a “sand volcano” from Clare County, Ireland. These features are found in the Carboniferous aged Gull Island formation – a deposit of marine shales and sandstones. About 300 million years ago, this area was shaken by large enough earthquakes to produce liquefaction of water-rich sediment. The mixture of water and sand, pressurized by the weight of the layers above, broke through to the surface and erupted, forming a feature called a sand boil/sand blow or a sand volcano. These ancient sand volcanoes have been buried and lithified over time; similar features have been observed associated with large modern earthquakes (https://tmblr.co/Zyv2Js2NjegtT). -JBB Image credit: http://bit.ly/2z1A14T Reference: http://bit.ly/2z2sti8 https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/GeositesKilkee
