Place & story
Eight occupied houses in 1911
The 1911 census places Carrowkeel in Kiltullagh parish, Athenry barony and Kilconierin electoral division. Its thirty-two inhabitants comprised nineteen males and thirteen females. Eight houses were inhabited and a ninth was empty. The population had been fifty-eight in 1891 and thirty-nine in 1901. The return thus records a declining population over those twenty years, while giving no explanation for individual departures or changes in household composition. [2]
