Place & story
A townland recorded separately
Carn appears under Magheraculmoney parish in the 1851 census for Lurg barony. Thirty people lived in six inhabited houses: fourteen males and sixteen females. In 1841 the return had recorded fifty-seven residents, twenty-six male and thirty-one female, in nine inhabited houses. The figures show a fall in both population and occupied housing across the decade. They belong to this Carn, distinct from the same-named townlands in Boho and Kinawley parishes, and do not identify a cause for the decline. [2]
