Cloyne was an important early monastic foundation which later became the location of a medieval cathedral (vol. 2, 5605). There are references to a town here from the 13th century (Ó Loingsigh 1994, 1) and Graham (1977, 52) classifies it as a 'medieval borough'. The town contains the remains of a round tower (vol. 2, 5597), the cathedral (vol. 2, 5605), a 16th/17th-century fortified house (vol. 2, 5591) and the sites of a tower house (CO088-019014-), a 16th/17th-century house (CO088-019008-) and a market cross (CO088-019012-). A 17th-century armorial plaque (CO088-019013-) from the town is now missing. (Zajac et al. 1995, 28)
