The National Monuments Service's description
At St Mary's parish church (KK019-026115-) in Kilkenny. Plain inscribed rectangular slab (L 0.84m; Wth 0.44m), composed of fossiliferous limestone, which functions as a vault marker. The slab marked the entrance to the vault of Jasper Roothe, which is probably the vault below the tomb of Richard Rothe Fitz Edward. It is roughly tooled with Roman capitals that reads: This is the intrance/ of Mr. Jasper Roothe/ Monument. A Jasper Rothe is recorded by Burtchaell as having died in 1623 (Burtchaell 1886, pedigree).
