Moone () is a small village in the south of County Kildare, Ireland. It is on the former N9 road (now by-passed) about south of Dublin. It has only a few hundred inhabitants, a church, a National School, one shop and a small community centre. There is also pub called the Moone High Cross Inn.〔(County Kildare: Moone )〕 The name Moone comes from the Irish "Maen Colmcille" which means "Colmcille's property". The closest village to Moone is Timolin, about 1 kilometer to the north. The current county plan provides for joint development of Moone and Timolin. ==The High Cross== Moone's most famous attribute is its High Cross, dating from the 7th century. It can be found about 1 kilometre from Moone along the road to Athy (at ) in the remains of an old abbey believed to have been established by Saint Colmcille. A good picture and description of the High Cross can be found (here ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
