CARRICKMACROSS AIR (Aedhear charraic mhic chroise). Irish, Air (9/8 time). D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The title is probably Bunting's own, believes O'Sullivan (1983).

Source for notated version: the Index to the Irish collector Edward Bunting's 1840 collection gives that the tune was noted from "An old woman at Dundalk, 1794."

Printed sources: O'Sullivan/Bunting, 1983; No. 120, p. 171.
