Clonmore shrine

The Clonmore shrine was found on the banks of the Blackwater river which runs along the big meadow. It is the earliest Christian metal artifact.[clarification needed] It is housed in the Ulster Museum in Belfast.[2]

Sport

Clonmore Robert Emmets is a Gaelic football club. The men's senior team competes in division 3 of the Armagh league. After four years, the team is lacking in outside management this year,[when?] after being managed by Joe Mallon, as well as trying to bring in new players to replace the players who have decided to rest or retire from years previously.

Former railway

In 1858 the Portadown, Dungannon and Omagh Junction Railway opened Vernersbridge railway station, 0.7 miles (1.1 kilometres) south of Clonmore.[3] The Great Northern Railway Board closed the station in 1954[3] and the Ulster Transport Authority closed the railway in 1965.[4]
