O'Loughlin / O'Loghlin Inauguration Site near Kilshanny in Co. Clare.

The picture is of Carn Mhic Tail near Kilshanny in Co. Clare - likely to be the medieval inauguration site of the O'Loghlins. Carleton Jones book on the Burren believes that Carn Mhic Tail was the medieval inauguration site for the O'Connors and O'Loughlins. He says that "Carn Mhic Tail is named after Tailm the ancestor of both Conchobhar and Locklainn, and it was considered the burial place of Tail". He does go on to say that many medieval inauguration sites reused ancient burial mounds so as to legitimise their rule.
