Church
Clonkeen Church is a small rectangular church with antae at the east and west ends. The west part of the church, incorporating the west doorway is Romanesque, built of roughly coursed large stones, mostly sandstone. It has a well-preserved doorway with an arch of three orders, with Romanesque carving around the jambs.[10][11][12]
The capitals and columns with chevrons are similar to those at Aghadoe.[13]
