- Clogher Hill + Church.
Clogher is derived from "Cloc," a stone. The hill consists of a limestone Ridge. On the Southern end of the Hill are the remains of an old Catholic Church. There is still a burial ground in use on that spot.
The old parish was Clogher and it extended to what is now Known as the Village + Hollyford. The old parish has since been divided into other parishes. The United parishes of Clononely + Rosmore occupy the greater part of it.
