The National Monuments Service's description
Inserted in the inner face of the wall on the W side of the C of I graveyard (KK013-023005-), 0.6m N of the entrance to the graveyard.
The upper portion of a rectangular limestone graveslab (Wth 1.1m; H 0.83m). There are three lines of an inscription which run along the full width of the top of the slab, with a date of 1693 or 1695 at the start of the lowest third line. The inscription in English in roman capitals is very worn and begins, ‘HERE LIES CORNELIUS (?) GEALE OF ….1693/5’. The remaining two thirds of the slab is empty or is completely worn.
