Clonegal, officially Clonegall (Шаблон:IPAc-en Шаблон:Respell; Шаблон:Irish derived place name),[1] is a village in the southeast of County Carlow, Ireland. It is in a rural setting, close to the border between counties Wexford and Carlow, Шаблон:Cvt from Bunclody, County Wexford and Шаблон:Cvt from Carlow town. It is just over a mile north of where the River Slaney and the River Derry meet.[2] Clonegal has a much smaller "twin" village across the River Derry in County Wexford, Watch House Village.
The village is served by a primary school, and is the centre of an agricultural hinterland.[2]
History
Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes ringfort, bullaun stone and holy well sites in the surrounding townlands of Clonegall, Abbeydown and Huntington.[3]
Huntington Castle, also known as Clonegal Castle, is a 17th-century tower house close to the village centre.[4] Built by Laurence Esmonde, 1st Baron Esmonde on the site of an earlier (possibly 15th century) structure,[5][6] Huntington Castle was further extended in the 18th and 19th centuries.[4]
Clonegal's Church of Ireland church, St Fiaac's, was built Шаблон:Circa on the site of a much earlier church and ecclesiastical enclosure.[7][2] The nearby rectory, now a private house, was the residence of the local yeomanry commander during the 1798 Rebellion, and several United Irishmen prisoners were reputedly hanged in a neighbouring yard at what is now known locally as the "Hanging Arch".[2]
The local Roman Catholic church, St Brigid's, was built Шаблон:Circa.[8]
There were once eleven malt houses in and around the village, along with a wool and corn store, a police station and other shops.[2]
Clonegal won the "tidiest village" category in the 2014 and 2015 National Tidy Towns competitions.[9][10]
