The Kilnasaggart Stone

The Kilnasaggart Stone thought to be one of Ireland's oldest Christian monuments is situated close to Jonesboro. This stone was originally a pagan monument which was adopted by Christians. Clearly visible is its Ogham writing and it is dated around 700 AD making it the earliest dated cross-carved stone in Ireland.
