The Ballycarroll

This is the basic melody of the tune composed by Conor McCarthy who plays it on a Kincora B/C accordion on the recording "Ace Á Deuce." The notes indicate that the tune was ". . . named for our home in Barefield."

It's a nice tune for a C/G concertina, too. This is it with some triplets from the first pass through the tune.
