What is recorded here

Datestone above the doorway of 'Ginkel's House' (WM029-042030-) recorded 1626 as the foundation date of the building. Unfortunately the house was demolished in 1939, and as a result, the present whereabouts of the datestone is unknown (English 1972-3, 187).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WM029-042031
