“Tim Robinson’s “Burren map”, often called a “two-inch map,” is celebrated for its deep coverage of topography, including karst limestone, 450+ cashels, ringforts, megalithic tombs, and early churches”.
Robinson utilized a “deep mapping” approach, combining artistic sensibility with extensive historical, ecological, and topographical research to create a profound understanding of the landscape.
He considered the Burren a “vast memorial to bygone cultures” and documented it extensively in his cartographic work.
His work on the West of Ireland, including the Burren and Aran Islands, garnered him positions as a Fellow at Magdalen College, Cambridge and recognition by Aosdána.
Robinson’s work is considered essential for navigating and understanding the intricate, “contradictory” nature of the Burren’s limestone landscape. (Wikipedia)
