Carraig Airt[2] (anglicised as Carrigart or Carrickart[3]) is a small Gaeltacht village in the barony of Kilmacrenan in the north of County Donegal, Ireland.

Situated as it is at the base of the Rosguill peninsula, in one of the more remote but most scenic parts of the country, the village provides services for a large hinterland, with a supermarket with banking facilities, a post office, a doctor's surgery and a barracks staffed part-time by the Garda Síochána.

[citation needed] The village and its environs remain largely agricultural, relying on passing trade and tourism during the summer months.

[citation needed] The village, which celebrated its centenary in 2002, although there is evidence of Carrigart's existence for longer than that, originally formed part of the estates of the Earls of Leitrim, nearby Mulroy House being one of their seats.

[citation needed] The official name given to Carrigart is Carraig Airt but it has also been translated as Ceathrú Fhiodhghoirt, meaning Quarterland of the Wood of the Field [5]
