- There is a ruined castle in Doon. It was built by the Mooney's. It looks very old. It has been derelict for over one hundred years. It is in the townland of Doon, in the parish of Milane and Ballinahown. in the County Offaly, There was a battle fought near the Castle at one time, because human bones are to be found in the field which is called "?-na-fola". There was a church in the townland of Cooldorrough which was burned down during the Penal times.
On the level land at the foot of hill on which the castle of Doon stands. There are the ruins of an old monastery. When the Mooney's lived in the castle on the top of the hill, and the monks llived in the monastery at the foot of the hill, they were always at variance with each other.
