The National Monuments Service's description
There is a record of a fragment of a 17th century limestone graveslab in three pieces (dims 0.15m x 0.12m; T 0.12m) that was kept at St Patrick's Classical School (Bradley and King 1985, 101). The fragmentary inscription reads: HERE UN../ ISE / FETH AVE... While other stones once kept at the Classical School have been moved to a position (ME025-044020-) outside the Roman Catholic church of St Mary’s, the precise location of this stone at the moment is not known.
