The precise location of a possible 17th century headstone in Abbey Owney graveyard (LI014-014006-) cannot be identified. In 1907 Seymour recorded that the headstone was located close to the Barry wall monument (LI014-014018-) in Abbey Owney graveyard. He recorded the following details about the slab 'Following on in the same direction a curious little upright tombstone will be found. It is about 17 inches [0.43m] high by 11 [0.27m] wide, with rounded top, and represents a winged figure standing on a pedestal, blowing a trumpet, which is held in the left hand, while the right grasps a pair of scales. This is surrounded by foliage, and the whole is in low relief. Underneath is a blank space of about 5 inches, apparently intended for an inscription, which was never cut' (Seymour 1907, 363).
