Cloone Church Tower
The tower of Cloone Church is all there is left of an 1822 Church of Ireland Church. It was recently restored and is a landmark from which some of the fine angling waters in the area can be seen off the Cloone Ballinamore road. In the mid-1990s a clock was installed which was manufactured by Samuel Elliott in Dublin.
