The Burren comprises dramatic karst landscapes on Ireland’s Atlantic coast which have been fashioned in a variety of limestones, sandstones and siltstones originating during the Carboniferous period.
These became the English administrative baronies of Corcomroe and Burren in the late 16th century.
Ó Lochlainn was the surname of a Gaelic-Irish family who resided in The Burren, County Clare.
The O’Loghlens were descended from the princes of Corcomroe, in the Burren.

The Burren Action Group was a group of people from County Clare in Ireland who opposed plans during the 1990s by the Office of Public Works to develop a large scale interpretative centre at Mullaghmore in the local Burren area.
The northernmost site is in Co Donegal at Lough Napaste north of Milford and the southern limit is on the eastern edge of the Burren in Co Claree at Lough Skeardeen near Boston.
O'Donohue also devoted his energies to environmental activism, and is credited with helping spearhead the Burren Action Group, which opposed government development plans and ultimately preserved the area of Mullaghmore and the Burren, a karst landscape in County Clare.
Also known as "The Gateway to the Burren" or "The Angler's Paradise", Corofin is the birthplace of renowned Irish painter Frederick William Burton.
