Title
The Limpet Shell Mound (Kitchen Midden), Dogs? Bay
Description
Almost two-thirds of the photograph is taken up by a mound of limpet shells. The seashore is visible in the background. Welch identifies the setting as Dog's Bay. A shell midden is an archaeological feature, often exposed by sands being blown off during winter storms. The shells represent the diet of the earliest inhabitants of this part of Connemara.
