Cloonfad (Irish: Cluain Fada, meaning 'long meadow')[2] is a village in County Roscommon, Ireland, at the crossroads of the N83 National secondary road and the R327 regional road, about 10 km from the town of Ballyhaunis in County Mayo. A public walkway takes walkers to neighbouring villages through surrounding moorland. This habitat gave rise to the village's name in Irish - Cluain Fada or "Long Meadow". Cloonfad's local church, the Church of Saint Patrick, has been publishing an annual parish magazine since 1992 "The Cloonfad Magazine".[3]
The village has two pubs (public houses). Local services include an An Post office, convenience shop, beauty parlour and a hair salon.
