What is recorded here

Graveslab in Franckfort marks John Carroll, who died in 1681, beneath a stone placed by his son Sir Anthony O'Carroll. The large slab carries roman capitals above an incised cross, standing south of a church that likely replaced a much older worship site. A son's grief and pride still emerge from the carvings, while the buried man remains named rather than forgotten.

Present remains consist of 19th-Century Cof I church probably built on the site of a medieval church (OF045-022002-). 17th-century graveslab (2.1m by 0.8m by 0.3m) in graveyard (OF045-022003-) to S of church dedicated to John Carroll who died in 1681. Inscription in roman capitals carved in false relief above an incised iona-style cross with an engrailed shaft (Bradley 1987, 42-3). The inscription reads 'Sir Anthony O'Carroll placed this stone above the body of his father John O'Carroll of Cullenwaine who died 12 March 1681. May his soul rest in peace. Amen' (Bradley 1987, 43).
