What is recorded here

Crucifixion plaque in Creevy is a crucifixion plaque in Creevy, County Roscommon, Ireland. It stands in the grounds of the Roman Catholic church of Lisacly as a gable-shaped limestone panel showing a crucifixion in relief. Inscriptions above and below the figure include phrases about prayer, honour and the cross, while two middle lines remain illegible. The plaque is probably 19th century and may have come from the old Roman Catholic church marked near that place on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map.
