Clonegal, officially Clonegall (/ˈkloʊnəɡɔːl/ KLOH-nə-gawl; from Irish Cluain na nGall, meaning 'meadow of the foreigners'),[2] is a village in the southeast of County Carlow, Ireland.

[3] Evidence of ancient settlement in the area includes ringfort, bullaun stone and holy well sites in the surrounding townlands of Clonegall, Abbeydown and Huntington.

[8][3] 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".

[9] There were once eleven malt houses in and around the village, along with a wool and corn store, a police station and other shops.

[10] Clonegal won the "tidiest village" category in the 2014 and 2015 National Tidy Towns competitions.
