You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Carnaross''' or '''Carnaros''' (((Irish place name|Carn na Ros)))<ref>((cite web|url = https://www.logainm.ie/1414639.aspx | publisher = Irish Placenames Commission | website = logainm.ie | title =Carn na Ros / Carnaross | access-date = 12 February 2020 ))</ref> is a village in [[County Meath]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], approximately 4&nbsp;km northwest of [[Kells, County Meath|Kells]] on the [[R147 road (Ireland)|R147 road]] between Kells and [[Virginia, County Cavan]].<ref>((cite map| publisher = Ordnance Survey of Ireland map | title = ref. N 698))</ref>

== Etymology ==
Carnaross is an [[anglicisation]] of the [[Irish language]] ''Carn na Ros'', meaning "cairn of the woods" or "rock of the woods".

Specifically, ''carn'' is believed to refer to a local [[cairn]]; an ancient [[pagan]] [[burial site]] or heap of stones over a grave. Evidence for such a burial site may exist nearby in a farmers field. Known as Keim the churchyard, this site contains an [[ogham inscription|ogham inscribed stone]] which was discovered in 2006.<ref name="megal">((cite web|url=http://www.megalithicireland.com/Castlekeeran.htm |title=Castlekeeran Ogham Stone |publisher=Megalithicireland.com |access-date=2013-12-10))</ref><ref name="askabout">((cite web|url=http://www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/environment-geography/place-names/placenames-of-county-meat/cairn-ros-carnaross/ |title='Cairn' & 'ros': Carnaross |publisher=Askaboutireland.ie |access-date=2013-12-10))</ref> Other sources suggest that ''carn'' is derived from ''carraig'', the Irish for stone or rock.<ref>((cite book| author = P.W. Joyce | title = Irish Names of Places | date = 1913| volume = III | quote = "the old people there [Carnaross] say it is shortened from 'Carraig-na-ros', 'the rock of the woods'))</ref>

Separately, ''ros'' is believed to refer to a hill or promontory covered with trees or brushwood.<ref name="askabout"/>

==History==
===Parish===
The parish of Carnaross is composed of the three mediaeval parishes of Castle Kieran, Loughan and Dulane. Carnaross is not mentioned as a townland earlier than 1837, and even then John O'Donovan in the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books, refers to it as "a group of houses (two of them public houses) called Carnaross".<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/history-heritage/folklore-of-ireland/the-holy-wells-of-meath-f/keenahene-loughan/ |title=Keenahene & Loughan |publisher=Askaboutireland.ie |access-date=2013-12-10))</ref>

A number of sources record [[holy well]]s in the area, including one dedicated to [[Saint Anne]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://homepage.eircom.net/~kellsnet/ciaran.htm |title=Ciaran's Well in Kells Co. Meath |publisher=Homepage.eircom.net |access-date=2013-12-10))</ref>

===Former constituent parishes===
====Loghan====
One of the former constituent parishes, Loghan or Loughan, is described by [[Samuel Lewis (publisher)|Samuel Lewis]] in his 1837 ''[[A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland|Topographical Dictionary of Ireland]]'' as being:<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.libraryireland.com/topog/C/Castlekeiran-Upper-Kells-Meath.php |title=CASTLEKEIRAN, a village |publisher=Libraryireland.com |access-date=2013-12-10))</ref>
:''a parish, partly in the barony of Castlerahan, county of Cavan, and province of Ulster, but chiefly in the barony of Upper Kells, county of Meath, and province of Leinster, 4 miles (N. W.) from Kells, on the road from Dublin by Kells to Enniskillen; containing 3795 inhabitants, of which number, 339 are in the village of Loghan.''

Lewis notes that there was then a private school (with 60 pupils) at Carnaross, and the remains small church close to the which was dedicated to [[Saint Kieran]].

====Dulane====
Lewis (1837) also has an entry for the parish of Duleen or Dulane, which is also described as being the barony of Upper Kells "''on the road to Moynalty; containing 1503 inhabitants"''. He notes that the "''land is generally of good quality; and the system of agriculture is improved''" with "''sufficient quantity of bog for fuel''" A private school of 50 children is recorded, with a number of ancient crosses in the local churchyard.

''The Diocese of Meath : Ancient and Modern'', published in 1862 by Anthony Cogan, describes the church at Dulane as being at least partly ruined and having "''every appearance of antiquity''". The area is recorded as being the ancient site of an abbey of Tuilen, or Tulan, founded by [[Saint Ciaran]] in the sixth century.<ref>((cite web|url=https://archive.org/stream/dioceseofmeathan01cogaiala#page/124/mode/2up |title=The diocese of Meath : ancient and modern |access-date=2013-12-10))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/anthony-cogan/the-diocese-of-meath--ancient-and-modern-volume-2-ala/page-25-the-diocese-of-meath--ancient-and-modern-volume-2-ala.shtml |title=The diocese of Meath : ancient and modern (Volume 2) (page 25 of 48) | author = Anthony Cogan |publisher=Ebooksread.com |access-date=2013-12-10))</ref><ref>((cite web|url=https://archive.org/stream/dioceseofmeathan01cogaiala#page/134/mode/2up |title=The diocese of Meath : ancient and modern |access-date=2013-12-10))</ref><ref>((cite book| url = https://archive.org/details/dioceseofmeathan01cogaiala | title = The diocese of Meath : ancient and modern ))</ref>

====Castlekeiran====
Castlekeiran is also described in ''The Diocese of Meath : Ancient and modern'' (Cogan, 1862):
:''Castlekeiran, a village, in the parish of Loghan, barony of Upper Kells, county of Meath, and province of Leinster, 2 ½ miles (W. N. W.) from Kells; containing 24 houses and 162 inhabitants.''
:''Castlekeiran is called sometimes hter-Chiarain. This place was anciently called Bealaigh-duin, " the Road or Pass of the Fort". A monastery was founded here on the southern bank of the Abhainn-Sele, or Blackwater, by [[Saint Ciaran]], which was called Diseart Chiarain-Bealaigh-duin.''

=== Ogham stone ===
An [[Ogham inscription|Ogham stone]], found in Keim Churchyard has an inscription which reads "COVAGNI MAQI MUCOI LUGUNI". This translates from [[ogham]] as: ''Cuana son of the people of Lugh''. The tribes of the Gaileanga and Luighne occupied these territories anciently, with Cuana, Maelan, Mac Maelan and Leochain or Loughan cited as a chiefly names amongst notices for these Luighne and Gaileanga. Cuana is linked with the ancient battle of Belach-Duinn (Castlekeiran).<ref name="megal"/>

===Annalistic references===
The [[Annals of the Four Masters]] have the following notices relating to Carnaross :

:''770. Ciaran,* the Pious, of Bealach-dain, died on 14 June.''

:''855. Siadhal, Abbot of ((Not a typo|Disert))-Chiarain (Castlekieran), died.''

:''868. Comsudh, Abbot of ((Not a typo|Disert))-Chiarain, of Bealach-duin, died.''

:''949. Castlekieran was plundered by the Danes.''

:''961. Dubhthach, Abbot of Castlekieran, died.''

==Notable buildings==
A former Church of Ireland building on the R147, constructed from sheet metal in the 19th century, is one of the more unusual features of Carnaross.((citation needed|date=February 2020)) This church, known as the "Iron Church", fell into disuse in the 1970s but was subsequently purchased by a family from Collon, County Louth and used as an independent evangelical place of worship.((citation needed|date=February 2020))

Carnaross is home to a cattle mart. The mart held Ireland's first virtual mart during the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland|COVID-19 restrictions in 2020]].<ref>((cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/ireland-s-first-virtual-cattle-mart-is-held-amid-coronavirus-restrictions-1.4222389|title=Ireland's first virtual cattle mart is held amid coronavirus restrictions|work=[[The Irish Times]]|first=Barry|last=Roche|date=6 April 2020|access-date=15 April 2020))</ref>
