The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW quadrant of a graveyard (LF019-030001-). One of two (see also LF019-030004-) late-17th-century, recumbent, rectangular graveslabs (L 1.65m; Wth 0.78m; T 0.17m). The inscription, carved in false relief, is very weathered and, in parts, almost illegible. The monogram 'IHS' is carved on the head and a fleur-de-lys cross rises from the centre of the cross-bar of the H. The Sacred Heart and three nails are depicted below the cross-bar and the cross is flanked on either side by INRI. The inscription reads: ‘Here lyeth the body of Francis/Ferrall interred who dyed the tenth/of July year 1681 aged Eighteen/ Years/ Here lyeth the body of Elinor/Coghlan wife of Francis O'Ferrall/Boy of Mornyn Esq. Who dyed the/24 day of June 1702’ (Baxter 1999, 94-6; no. 162; Lennon 2006, 69).
