What is recorded here

Mosney House in County Meath still wears a stone salvaged from Irishtown Church, carrying the arms of Barnwall and a toothed cross beneath two angelic supporters. The plaque probably dates from the 16th century, when local families used such marks to declare identity and claim. It now sits beside a decorated spandrel in the house wall, turning a domestic boundary into a layered record of displaced faith and human pride.

A stone with an armorial crest supported by two angels that came from the church at Irishtown (ME028-017----) is built into a wall of Mosney House (Ward 1965, 255). It bears the arms of Barnwall with a family represented by a toothed cross, and is probably 16th century in date. A decorated spandrel (ME028-012003-) is also in the wall. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 23 December, 2014
