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 remains, with a schoolhouse, pub and hostel serving its hundred or so neighbours. The hard ground and wide sky make it feel like a place where practical people did useful, stubborn work.

Situated on a low limestone ridge running SW-NE within the Burren National Park. A cairn (diam. c. 8m) somewhat inundated by scrub and with evidence of having been disturbed in the past. A second cairn (CL010-227----) lies c. 60m to the SW. (pers. comm. Michael Lynch) Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 30 July 2014

A Neolithic cairn, likely dating to the early to middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE), associated with funerary or ritual practices in the Burren region. Its location within the Burren National Park highlights the area's significance as a dense and important archaeological landscape for Neolithic studies in Ireland.
