There are three mounds ('cairns') in a line just east of the summit. The name is clearly derived from Ir. Carn, 'cairn'.   Carron Mountain is the 656th highest summit in Ireland. Carron Mountain is the most westerly summit in the Ballyhoura Mountains area.

The most westerly Ballyhouras
Short Summary created by jackill  3 Aug 2012 Park at R66277 16805 (Point A), however there is barely room to park one car here at the roadside. A better option might be to park at R66494 16799 (Point B) and walk to the start.
Follow the track up to Long mountain and Seefin and then down to join the Ballyhoura way.
I then followed the generally good track over the bog to Little Carron.
There is quite a large mast and buildings near the summit which has extensive bike damage
From Little Carron follow a good track west to the summit of Carron marked by a pile of stones.
Point A: R66277 16805 Point B: R66494 16799
