What is recorded here
Clonagh Monastery and Earthwork in Clonagh stand on reclaimed grassland where a stream still marks the boundary with Ballykenry. The circular earthwork, nearly thirty-five metres across, has watched carts, prayers and cameras pass for centuries. It is not a display or a legend, but a living marker: a place where human hands shaped the land and the land still holds their shape.
Situated on reclaimed grassland, with stream marking townland boundary with Ballykenry 40m to W. Clonagh Monastery (LI028-066001-/002/003-) lies 350m to SE. Outline of circular-shaped earthwork (diam. c. 35m) visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
