Wall monument (present location)

The National Monuments Service's description

There are three pieces of stone sculpture embedded in the courtyard walls of Ballylin Demesne. The first piece is located on the N face of the N wall over an archway, it is a armorial plaque (OF015-008002-) with a coat of arms depicting the crucifixion with a date above of 1688. There is a second armorial plaque on the S face of the N wall with a coat of arms of three lions rampant (OF015-008003-). On the N face of the S wall there is a round arched hammer dressed limestone doorway (OF015-008001-) of late medieval date believed to have come from a destroyed church near Kilreghan cemetery (OF014-031----) (Dunne 1874-5, 161-5). Above this doorway there is a poorly preserved coat of arms with a large stone mortar which has four semicircular lugs (OF015-008005-). All these remains possibly came from the destroyed late medieval church (OF014-031002-) near Kilreghan cemetery.

This monument is the same as OF014-031006
