The name Knockaderry is from the Irish Cnoc an Doire, meaning 'the hill of the Oak'. There is still an oak grove evident near the village. It is a long single-street village. The other village in the parish is Cloncagh, originally spelt 'Clouncagh', which comes from the Irish: Cluain Cath, meaning 'the meadow of the battle'. During the ministry of Canon Lyons as parish priest, the "u" in Clouncagh was dropped, although it can still be seen on some of the signs entering the parish. The population is approximately 1,200 despite the depopulation that is ongoing in many rural areas. There is one pub called Hanley’s Bar. The last Hanleys to own and run the bar were the late Seán and Peig Hanley (brother and sister), who also ran a shop on the premises. Seán took over the bar from his uncle John Hanley, whose name still presides over the door of the main entrance in iron wrought. There is also a Gaelic Athletic Association field near the village, where the local hurling, camoige and Gaelic Football teams play. It is located at the end of the cul de sac that begins Hanley’s Bar. There’s also a soccer club called Knockaderry FC. There is a community centre in the village, as well as a Roman Catholic church. Knockaderry also has a drama group that performs in the community centre. Lady Heath was born in Knockaderry House.
