What is recorded here

In the graveyard of Killary church (ME012-020----) is a rectangular graveslab (dims 1.91m x 1.01m; T 0.1m) with a panel (dims 0.71m x 0.71m) depicting symbols of mortality – a coffin, a skull and cross-bones with a heart between them, a bell and an hour-glass. Its incised inscription is illegible, but it might be late 17th century in date. See attached image.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME012-020006
