What is recorded here

Carran is a small Burren village where rocky pasture and old copper mines shaped the lives of its hundred or so residents. It is the birthplace of Michael Cusack, who helped found the Gaelic Athletic Association, and it still keeps a schoolhouse, church and pub within reach of dolmens, disappearing lakes and limestone pavement. Saint Columb is said to have founded an abbey there, leaving behind a ruined church, a holy spring and a stone bed that people still point to as his.
