The book charts the conservation of the O Brien Column, close to the Cliffs, and delves into the history of Cornelius O Brien, the man who opened up the Cliffs of Moher to visitors in the 19th century. It is a fascinating read with nine essays on everything from the origins of the commemorative column in Ireland to St Bridget's Well and the chronology of the O Brien column raised in memory of Cornelius.
