Architectural fragment in Carrowkeel (athlone North By., Lackan Ed) is an architectural fragment in Carrowkeel (athlone North By., Lackan Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. The damaged limestone stoup, about 0.35m across, probably came from Rahara church one kilometre south and was kept at the local holy well before moving to the Roscommon County Museum.
