What is recorded here

Graveslab in Taghshinny is a broken 17th-century slab lying in rubble at the graveyard wall, bearing partial Latin words and a carved figure standing on a pedestal. Whatever it marked has been lost to time, but the stone still points upward, as if the dead person wanted to be remembered in motion rather than buried in forgetfulness.

In the NE quadrant of a graveyard (LF023-097001-), in a pile of rubble against the wall. This fragment of a possible 17th-century graveslab (L 0.6m; Wth 0.33m; T 0.08m) is inscribed and decorated in false relief. The inscription, in Latin, is only partially legible and reads: '…is kinapres …/…fieri fecit../…e suos…/..es:cu..'. Above it a figure is depicted standing on a pedestal.
