What is recorded here

Indicated is a corbelled mausoleum attached to the north wall of the chancel of the parish church of Killary in County Meath, Ireland. Its sandstone doorway bears a dedication to Patrick Russell of Mitchelstown dated 1818, yet that name sits upon an older structure, suggesting Russell claimed or reused a chamber already shaped for death. The building remains narrow, double-splayed and quietly layered, a place where one man’s date cannot erase the hands that first made it.

Attached to the N wall of the chancel of the parish church of Killary (ME012-020----) there is a corbelled mausoleum (ext. dims 5.15m N-S; 4.5m E-W) that was added to its N face. It has a double-splay window (Wth 0.3m; H 0.68m) in the E wall. The lintelled doorway (Wth 0.75m; H 1.58m) with a dressed sandstone surround has a dedication to Patrick Russell of Mitchelstown dated 1818, but this is an insertion onto an older structure.
