Place & story
A limited record beneath the roads
Kate Taylor’s report on the first phase of Oranmore’s water-main rehabilitation lists Carrowkeel among nine townlands crossed by the scheme. Archaeologists monitored pipe laying intermittently between June and October 2015 in five parts of the project. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered in the monitored works. Imported clay beneath Main Street and part of a wall near the bridge linking Main Street with the Coast road were noted separately. Those observations belong to the wider scheme and do not establish that every part of Carrowkeel lacks archaeological remains. [2]
