What is recorded here
According to the 'Urban Archaeology Survey of County Kerry' (Bradley, Halpin and King n.d., 20-1), Hickson (1874, 2-3) recorded the discovery of a datestone inscribed as follows:
'HOC OPUS INCEPTUM Ao. DNI. 1633
ET FINITUM Ao. DNI. 1635
DAVID CROSBIE ARMI;
UBI FIDES ET VERITAS DEUS PROVIDEBIT'.
The datestone was discovered in the ground where a late 16th/early 17th-century house (KE020-046015-) formerly stood. According to Bradley, Halpin and King (ibid.), the slab was not located.
