In the graveyard are several interesting stones, probably the most noted one is known as the Bishops stone, this odd shaped stone has been altered and reused several times, originally thought to have been a carved figure similar to those on nearby White Island. Another stone with a lot of history is the large slab standing west of the bishops stone, one side of the stone bears at least twelve cup-shaped hollows, see image above right, which suggest this maybe a multiple bullaun stone/cup marked stone that has been reused as an early Christian cross slab, as on the obverse face is a Greek cross in a circle with a bifurcated stem. Situated south of the bullaun stone is a holed stone, as the image shows this stone is half embedded in the ground. Immediately to the West of the holed stone is a broken 1.2 metre high stone pillar. This stone may have been damaged. http://www.megalithicireland.com/Killadeas.htm

The Ulster Canal Greenway is now a lovely traffic free way to travel about Monaghan, but there are many reminders of its historic past. The Canal Stores are now a sports hall for the St Louis Convent School.

Across the fields you can see Aughintain Castle. It dates from 1618 and was destroyed as soon as 1641. The effort gone to build such a structure which survived for only 23 years. If you take a closer look, keep an eye out for musket holes on the castle walls.
