The National Monuments Service's description
In the graveyard at Threecastles (KK014-025007-). Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 268) noted a fragment of a graveslab, 'of about the year 1600, showing a raised cross and a "Hic jacet Johannes..". Given the date ascribed it is likely that the latin inscription is in Black Letter script.
