Description

Carnmore East is at the extreme eastern side of Claregalway parish adjoining Lackagh parish. There is a turlough in the area and remains of a small lisheen (children’s burial ground). Some stone tools were discovered in this area a few years ago.

There were traces of an old village. On the night of the “Oiche na Gaoith Mór”, the night of the big wind, on January 6th 1839 the storm played havoc with the houses and a few years later the Famine put an end to what houses remained.
