L 0.63m; Wth 0.60m; H 0.37m) supports a hexagonal shaft-fragment (H 0.5m), and is said to mark the site of a former burial ground (KD003-016002-).

• KD003-016002 Burial ground
  Description

  According to O'Leary (1903-05, 172-75) large quantities of human bones were uncovered here in the mid-19 c. He identifies this site and a cross base and shaft (KD003-016001-) as being connected with the reburial of interments from Clonagh church and graveyard (KD003-020001-).

• KD003-017 Castle - tower house
  Description

  According to O'Leary (1896-99, 135-38) a date stone (KD003-017001-) attests that a castle was built by John Lye in 1578. O'Leary also notes the presence of a 'religious house' (KD003-020----), 'burial place' (KD003-020001-) and stone cross (KD003-02002--) in this area and quotes from a 1608 Inquisition held at Naas that, '… John Lye of Rathbride, gent., being seized of divers lands in the said townland of Clonaugh, levelled the tenements, bounds, and limits of said religious house, threw down and destroyed the cross and trees and erected a tower, or small castle, with other buildings.' Also, according to O'Leary (1904, 172-3) stones from the demolished Clonagh Castle were used to build 'Kilshanchoe Church' (KD003-027----). On a very slight rise c. 50m to the W of a small N-flowing stream in open pastureland. In 1985 there were no visible surface traces of the monument (SMR file). Two armorial plaques (KD004-002----) incorporated into the walls of a primary school in Johnstown village and an architectural fragment (KD004-003----) incorporated into a modern wall in the village are said to have come from the castle.
