    During the time St. Fintan was in Clonenagh a man was drawing home turf from the Clonenagh bog. He had a horse and a cart with him. He said something to St. Fintan. St FIntan turned his horse into a stone horse. This horse is still in Clonenagh bog. People go there to see this horse and also to see St, Fintan's well which is up in a tree.
