The National Monuments Service's description
There are three mausoleums in a N-S line SE of the present Church of Ireland church, now closed, in the Inishkeen graveyard (MO029-031004-). They are now visible as just the base of the walls (T 0.6m; H 0.5-1.5m). The N and central ones (N: ext. dims 6.55m E-W; 4.3m N-S; central: 6.55m E-W; 4.55m N-S; S: 5.25m plus N-S; 4.4m E-W) have doorways (Wth 0.95m) on the W side with external rebates, and the central one, which is structurally the earliest, probably had the inscription, now missing, with the date 1672 (Shirley 1879, 387; Bradshaw 1888, 225).
