Place & story
A townland in the 1911 return
Carrowkeel had seventy-two inhabitants in 1911, forty-one male and thirty-one female. Its eighteen houses included sixteen occupied dwellings and two uninhabited houses. The census table lists seventy-nine people in 1891 and sixty-eight in 1901; house numbers fell from twenty-one to sixteen before rising to eighteen. The entry covers a townland of 129 acres, two roods and twenty-four perches in Cloonbur electoral division, within Oughterard Union. These figures describe the townland rather than the wider Cong or Cloonbur communities. [2]
