What is recorded here

Father Hubert Cahill paid to build a rear chamber for Mary in 1649, then asked passing readers to pray for his own soul. That transaction still stands flanking the Kilcommock gateway: a chapel room for someone else, a remembered name for him.

Flanking the gateway in the E wall of the graveyard (LF022-032001-). This is the N example (H 0.72m; Wth 0.61m) of two limestone plaques. The inscription, in Roman capitals carved in relief, reads 'ORA PIE LECT/OR PRO R.P. HUBE/RTO CAHILL VICC/ARIO DE KILDACO/MOCK ET SHRVE[R]/ QVI RETROERE /AM SACRISTAM IN/ HONORE BMAE V M/ARIAE SUIS EXPE/NSIS FIERI FECIT/ AO D 1649' (Pius reader pray for reverend father Hubert Cahill, vicar of Kildacomock and Shrule, who had the rear sacristy (?) built in honour of the most blessed Virgin Mary, at his own expense, in the year of Our Lord 1649).
