  1. In New Abbey (Kilcullen) there is a stone monument, and on it is the figure of the Fitz Eustaces who built Castlemartin, Ballymore Eustace, and other places in Co. Kildare. Their grave is supposes to be under this stone. On Knockaulin there is a large stone which Finn Mac Cumhall threw from Allen to Knockaulin, and it broke when it landed. Four miles from Kilcullen there is a stone monument called "Donnelly's monument", where Donnelly defeated Cooper in a boxing match.
