What is recorded here
Carran is a small Burren village where Michael Cusack helped found the Gaelic Athletic Association. It sits among limestone pasture, old church ruins and copper-mining traces, with a spring, schoolhouse and pub keeping daily life visible. The place is less than a hundred people wide, yet it carries a national game and several buried centuries.
Situated SE of centre in a cashel (CL026-025----) in rough grazing. A cairn (dims. 6m E-W; 4m N-S; H 0.4m).
