The National Monuments Service's description
The site of the medieval parish church of Clongill (ME017-018----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined largely by masonry walls, but the E side incorporates the townland boundary with Arch Hall. According to Dopping's Visitation (1682-5) the graveyard was 'tolerably fenced with stone' at that time (Ellison 1973, 6). The graveslab of James Trynch (ME017-018002-) is at the E edge of the graveyard.
