Cloone (Irish: An Chluain) is a village in County Leitrim, Ireland. The village is located in the south of the county, just off the R201 regional road; its nearest town is Mohill. Its name is an Anglicised version of the Irish-language word cluain, meaning meadow.

Buildings

St. James's Church Tower

The bell tower of St James's Church of Ireland, Cloone, County Leitrim.

The bell tower of St James's Church of Ireland is all that is left of a building that was erected by the Board of First Fruits in 1822. The tower was restored in the mid-1990's and a clock installed, which was manufactured by Samuel Elliott of Dublin. It is a local landmark from which some of the finest angling waters in the area can be seen off the Cloone to Ballinamore Road.

World War I (1914 - 1918) casualties from Cloone.

A total of eleven men from the Cloone area are known to have died whilst on active service during the Great War (1914 – 1918), having given their place of birth or permanent domicile as Cloone Village or the parish thereof at the time of their enlisting.

Those bodies recovered and identified were interred in various military cemeteries in Belgium (La Laiterie Military Cemetery & Pond Farm Cemetery), France (Cabaret-Rouge British Cemetery, Cuinchy Communal Cemetery, Philosophe British Cemetery & Savy British Cemetery), Israel (Beersheba War Cemetery) and Turkey (Lala Baba Cemetery). However, those men who lost their lives at the Battle of the Somme with no known graves, are recorded on the Thiepval Memorial near the village of Thiepval, Picardie in France.
