Clochar is a complex ecclesiastical site in Dungannon, Northern Ireland, encompassing remains from multiple periods of Christian worship and burial spanning from the early medieval period through to modern times. The site contains the foundations and structural remains of a pre-Norman cathedral alongside an Augustinian friary, representing significant phases of religious institutional development in the medieval period. Three stone crosses and two bullaun stones survive as archaeological features, the crosses likely serving as foci for devotion and assembly, while the bullauns, cup-marked stones, are characteristic elements of early Christian sites. The site continued in use through the post-medieval period and into the modern era, with later cathedral construction and graveyard expansion reflecting the enduring importance of this location as a centre of Christian practice in the region.
