  CARRICK, CARRIG.—There are numerous Townlands named CARRICK or CARRIG, or having these words as a prefix. Usually, though not invariably, they are from the Irish carraig, " a rock," as Carrickduff, carraig dubh, " black rock." This word in Scottish Gaelic is also carraig, and is found in Carrick, " a rock " (Ayrshire). In Manx it is carrick, as in Carricklea, " gray rock." Compare Welsh craig, " a rock," and carreg, " a stone," Cornish carrag, and Breton karreg.
