A carving of an angel holding a shield (dims c. 0.3m x c. 0.3m; T 0.1m) was found in removing a stone wall on the N side of the old Julianstown to Duleek road near where a fragment of a wayside cross survives (ME027-010001-).

Likely medieval in origin, the carving may reflect Christian traditions or local folklore associated with protection and spiritual guardianship. Its proximity to a fragment of a wayside cross suggests a possible liturgical or commemorative function along a former pilgrimage or trade route.
