Clogh (Irish: An Chloch) is a village,[2] and namesake of an electoral district[3] in County Kilkenny, Ireland.

Clogh borders the following townlands: Aughatubbrid or Chatsworth, Cloneen, Coolnaleen, Crutt, Kill, Loon, Moneenroe, Tourtane.

As of the Central Statistics Office's 2006 census, Clogh's population, including Chatsworth, was 351.

[1] Clogh was historically a more densely populated area, mostly due to the employment given in the local coal mines.

A number of coal-mining families from the area emigrated to Heckscherville, Pennsylvania during and after the Great Famine of 1845–1851.

[citation needed] The Payne brothers, who ran the coal pits, came to the area of North Kilkenny and Laois to recruit miners for their mines.

The graveyard is large and contains monuments, including one to Michael Fenlon who constructed the first Boulton & Watt steam engine for use in the nearby Doonane Colliery (1793/94).

Fenlon was a lecturer in Trinity College, Dublin, he died at the young age of 36 years.
