    In the townland on Unshinagh which is about a quarter of a mile north of Kilduff School there is a stone about 20 ins wide and twelve inches in depth. There are ornaments representing plates, cups, and saucers, on it and inscriptions but no one is able to know what they are.
    When Kilduff School was being built the men were bringing down stones to it and when Father McGiviney saw the stone he told them not to interfere with it.
