Garraun (Tipperary)

Garraun is a townland, containing a little over 567 acres, in Twomileborris civil parish in County Tipperary.

For other uses, see Garraun (disambiguation).

In its south-eastern corner it encloses two very small exclaves of the neighbouring townland of Borris. In recent years, the village of Two-Mile Borris, whose core is in Borris townland, has expanded westwards across the townland boundary, with the result that south-eastern Garraun now contains part of the village, in the shape of a new housing area called Dún na Rí.

Although Garraun is in Borrisleigh civil parish, it is not in the electoral division of the same name (which is now more commonly called Twomileborris); instead, it is in Rahelty electoral division.
