I was there in June this year. I had to ask for directions from the petrol station at the top end of the village.

Hello there!

I was born in Karaburna but now I live in the UK. I am very pleased to find and read comments and see pictures about my village. Even though this message appears as being added on 15th July, I do not know when exactly Mr David Morgan had been there.
I guess that he is an historian.......
Not many people know about Karaburna and its rock fortress...when I was young my grand mother used to tell us about this fortress' story....

Just wanted to say thank you!

Kind regards,

Gulsum
