N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Poulmonnoon?? 'Europe's largest turlough is found at Carran in the central Burren' and see:

geograph gives the grid ref. of 'Carron Turlough, Co. Clare, near to Carran, Castletown and Fahee, Clare, Ireland' as R2798.

As for the name beginning 'P', older maps show Poulacarran.

Irish grid reference finder shows R2798 but 'Point B' is more clearly in the thurlough around R283984 with Poulnabrone Dolmen marked to the NW of Carran.

Your link leads to 'Carron Polje', polje being from Croat/Serbian for field and now applied to 'a large flat plain found in karstic geological regions' Wikipedia.
