What is recorded here

Kilmore Upper holds a cross-shaped headstone marking Prinser Dan, who died in November 1680. Its disc head and raised western cross still stand beside the old cathedral graveyard, preserving a name that time has only partly blurred.

Within the graveyard associated with the old cathedral of Kilmore (CV025-070004-). This is a cross-shaped stone (H 0.7m; span 0.33m; T 0.14m) with a disc head (diam. 0.45m). On the E-face is the inscribed legend: IHS / HERE LYETH / THE BODY OF / PRINSER / DAN WHO DIED / THE IIT / H DAY / OF NOV / EMBE / R 1680. The name is not certain. The W face has a wide cross in slightly raised panels extending the full length and breadth of the stone. Linked incised circles form a crude cross on the disc head and incised arcs outline another cross at the crux.
