The National Monuments Service's description
A stone, which was probably used to repair the wall, has been inserted inside the doorway of Rattoo Church (see KE009-056003-). The stone, measuring .4m by .3m, bears an inscription on its upper part. The inscription may read as follows: 'X MARGARET O'DINIGHEN, EJUS 1666, VXOR, HIC JACET' (Lynch, JRSAI 40, 1910, 244-245). For a full description see Toal (1995, 244, no. 938).
