The National Monuments Service's description
A tomb inside the church of Kilcommon (RO045-116001-) which is blocking the E window re-uses a graveslab (dims 2m x 1.05; T 0.15m) of Patricia (?) and Column Kelly of Creggan with a Latin inscription in false relief and a date of 1685. The slab is incised with a simple cross which has a calvary and fleur-de-lis terminals. The inscription has been read by Noel Dunne as: HOC MONVMENT SEV LAPIDEM EFIGE FECE / IT DOMINUS COLLOMELLA KELLY PRO ANIMA / PATRISSIVI DOMINE DONATI KELLY DE CREGAN / CLARE QVI VLTIMO APRILIS OBIT ANNO DO / MINI 1675 ET PRO SE ET SUIS POSTERIS DAE / VICESIMO OVINTO MARTY ANNO DNI 1685
