What is recorded here

Graveslab in Ballynadrumny marked Patrick Sherlock around 1550, but the exact stone has vanished from the graveyard south of the church ruins. Fitzgerald recorded the Latin name and incomplete date before the marker disappeared, leaving behind a gap where a life should still be readable. The loss turns a ordinary burial into a warning that even local memory can be erased when nobody watches the stones.

Recorded by Fitzgerald (1899-1902, 134) as lying 'a short distance to the south of the church ruins' (KD003-019001-) in Ballynadrumny graveyard (KD003-019002-). The graveslab bore a Latin inscription commemorating a Patrick Sherlock of Ballindrumny with a partially legible date of '155?'. The exact location of this monument is unknown.
