What is recorded here
Clooney holds a layered chapel and graveyard where early Christian worship continued through the medieval and post-medieval periods. The site carries alternative names for St. Columb, St. Brechan or Domnach Min-Cluane, suggesting a place where memory itself became uncertain. Its scheduled protection acknowledges that human hands shaped the ground long before modern borders drew their lines.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHAPEL and GRAVEYARD on earlier site: ST.COLUMB'S or ST. BRECAN'S or DOMNACH MIN-CLUANE. Recorded period: MED/L.MED; POST-MED; E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
