The National Monuments Service's description
There is no evidence of ancient or medieval structures in the graveyard (ME047-007001-) at the site of the parish church of Clonard and the probable site of St Finnian's early monastery (ME047-007----), apart from a face corbel (ME047-007004-) in the tower of the now closed Church of Ireland church that was built in 1810 and a rectangular, flat-bottomed trough (dims 0.91m x 0.54m; D 0.37-0.39m) of uncertain date and function cut in the bedrock just SW of the surviving church. (Wilde 1850, 56-8)
