What is recorded here
Carrigaline East and Middle mark a lost town on the north bank of the Owenboy River, drawn on the Down Survey in 1655-6 beside Carrigaline Castle, its church and a bridge. The modern town sits one kilometre west and upriver, pushing the older settlement out of everyday sight. Buildings, a road and a river crossing may have filled that place before Carrigaline moved on, leaving behind a name and a ghost of streets.
