  2. In the townland of Keenogue between Gormanstown and Julianstown there is a peculiar stone in the garden of Mr Joseph O'Brien. It is rectangular in shape. It was removed from a field owned by Mr McKeever of Elmgrove and brought to his garden by the Church Authorities over one hundred years ago. This field is still known as Cnoca Pobal. On the front of the stone there is a figure of Christ hanging on the cross. There are also two other figures kneeling on each side of the cross. There is nothing else what so ever carved on the other three sides of the cross.
