Clonard is notable for being one of the earliest Christian sites in Ireland, being linked with the first Irish bishop Palladius c. 450 and as the location of a major early medieval monastery Clonard Abbey, founded in the 6th century by St. Finnian.

Around 1177, Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath, built a motte-and-bailey fortification at Clonard.

The village contains a Catholic church, a graveyard and a primary school.

It is served by Bus Éireann services to Dublin and West of Ireland.
