Place & story
Twenty-nine residents
The 1911 census records twenty-nine inhabitants in Carrowkeel, seventeen male and twelve female, in six occupied houses. The population had been thirty-one in 1891 and twenty-four in 1901, with eight and seven houses respectively. The return places Carrowkeel in Clontuskert parish and electoral division, within Clonmacnowen barony. These figures record a fall and then a rise in population across the two decades, without showing whether the same individual families remained throughout. [2]
