On Ellis Island records I find it spelled variously as Carha,Rahino,Castelbar & Corha,Rahens,Castlebar. >> Terry, I think the current spellings would be Carha, Raheens, Castlebar. The townland of Carha (Islandeady civil parish) is about 4 miles due west of busy, downtown Castlebar. The R 311 road splits the townland into a wooded 150-or-so acres between the R 311 and the R 312 to the north, and the remaining 350 acres to the south of the 311. There is one minor road in this larger section, with a dozen or so buildings along it. I don't think I could comment knowledgeably on the farming or stone masonry in the area, but Carha is definitely not the place for large, level fields. Sheep or cattle would seem more likely.
