Place & story
One hundred residents in 1911
The 1911 census places Carrick in Donaghmore parish, Raphoe South barony and Killygordon electoral division. One hundred people lived there, forty-five male and fifty-five female. Twenty houses were occupied and one was empty. The population had been 117 in 1891 and 116 in 1901. These are figures for this townland, distinct from the Carricks in Templedouglas, Cranford and Meenaclady divisions. [2]
Monitoring along the wider scheme
Alan Healy’s report records archaeological monitoring for the Liscooley–Castlefinn water-main scheme between August 2023 and April 2024. Its route crossed Carrick and several other townlands. Monitoring found no potential archaeological objects, features or deposits along the examined route. The modern wall foundation and cobbled surface described separately in the report were in Castlefinn town; they should not be assigned to Carrick. [3]
