This site is a voyage of discovery into the past of a small townland and its environs covering the history, geography
and archeology, genealogy and its connections to the outside world. When this project was first conceived a few
years ago the past seemed shrouded in mystery but gradually some of the pieces are falling into place.

Carrowmoreknock is a quiet townland in the west of Ireland which is almost invisible to the
outside world, even to those living a few miles away. There are even people who were born and grew up here without ever
knowing its name. Yet it was not always so. Carrowmoreknock was mentioned in the Strafford Survey in 1636 made in conjunction
with the projected plantation of Connacht in(1635-38). It is mentioned in the Books of Survey and Distribution along
with Bleanoran and is in the first modern map of Ireland by Petty in 1683. |
