The National Monuments Service's description
Limestone slab now used in the paving of the porch and very worn. It has an incised inscription in Roman capitals on one side only, below which can be seen two coats of of arms. The inscription is in memory Richard Bryce, alderman of Drogheda, and his wife. (CLAJ 1945, 26; Bradley 1984b, 96-7). One of four tomb or memorial slabs (see also LH024-041091-, LH024-041103-, LH024-041104-) located in the modern church and graveyard; all are seventeenth-century in date.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (entry 943) (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
