The National Monuments Service's description
Westropp (1904-5, 451) recorded the following details about Cloheen; 'A burial-ground (LI040-115001-) and Tober Gobnait, or Deborah's Well (LI040-110----). Pattern, August 3rd'. No surface remains visible of any church inside Cloheen Graveyard (LI040-115001-). Westropp (1904-5, 455) suggested that Doonmoon Church may have been located inside Cloheen graveyard. A slight rise of ground in the N quadrant of the graveyard may mark the site of a medieval church.
