Poulnabrone Dolmen

The R480 traverses a lonely area with many remains of ancient structures to Caherconnell, with a fine ring-fort. Near by is the Poulnabrone Dolmen, the imposing remains of a chambered tomb. 3mi/5km east is Carran, in an area rich in remains of the past. 1.25mi/2km northeast is Temple Cronan (National Monument), an Early Christian church with grotesque Romanesque heads on the outside walls.
