Garraun is a townland, containing a little over 567 acres, in Twomileborris civil parish in County Tipperary.[1]

In its south-eastern corner it encloses two very small exclaves of the neighbouring townland of Borris.[2] 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.[citation needed]

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.[3]
