The National Monuments Service's description
An armorial crest is inserted over the S window of the transept of Lough Crew church (ME015-027----) under a square hood-moulding. This may have come from another site as the complicated crest includes bearings of the Naper family, who were awarded the Plunkett lands in the 1650s, and what may be Barnwell. It is probably 17th century in date.
