Clonegal, officially Clonegall (/ˈklnəɡɔːl/ KLOH-nə-gawl; from Irish Cluain na nGall, meaning 'meadow of the foreigners'),[2] is a village in the southeast of County Carlow, Ireland. It is in a rural setting, close to the border between counties Wexford and Carlow, 5 km (3 mi) from Bunclody, County Wexford and 22 km (14 mi) from Carlow town. It is just over a mile north of where the River Slaney and the River Derry meet.[3] Clonegal has a much smaller "twin" village across the River Derry in County Wexford, Watch House Village.

The village is served by a primary school, and is the centre of an agricultural hinterland.[3]
