What is recorded here
Located c. 10m inside the wall of Moybologue graveyard (CV034-046007-) at SW is a sandstone slab (dims 2.04m x 0.85m; T 0.2m) supported on stones. This graveslab was first reported by Brian Callaghan. The stone is very worn but has a raised coat-of-arms crest with memento mori symbols beneath it. 3-D imagery deployed by the Moybologe Historical Society can decipher the inscription which was incised in roman capitals: THIS MONUMENT EREC / TED BY. THORLADH SMITH / NAS OWANAVALLY. AND. / MARGARET SMITH ALES GE / BROAD HIS WIFE FOR THER / FAMILIE ANNO D. 1680 (1650?). The inscription continues in a different script: This stone was erected / by Philip Smith of Leitrim / in memory of his father / …. Smith Who deprd. / …. Posterity Requiscant in pace.
