What is recorded here

Indicated is a row of three mausoleums in the Inishkeen graveyard, County Monaghan. The central chamber probably carried the date 1672, making it the oldest and the reason the other two were built beside it. Their roofs are gone, but their wall bases still stand in a straight line, marking the place where a family chose to be remembered.

There are three mausoleums in a N-S line SE of the present Church of Ireland church, now closed, in the Inishkeen graveyard (MO029-031004-). They are now visible as just the base of the walls (T 0.6m; H 0.5-1.5m). The N and central ones (N: ext. dims 6.55m E-W; 4.3m N-S; central: 6.55m E-W; 4.55m N-S; S: 5.25m plus N-S; 4.4m E-W) have doorways (Wth 0.95m) on the W side with external rebates, and the central one, which is structurally the earliest, probably had the inscription, now missing, with the date 1672 (Shirley 1879, 387; Bradshaw 1888, 225).
