What is recorded here

Graveslab in Killeshin marks the south quadrant of the churchyard where John Dodd and Bryan Hogan families were remembered from 1688. The flat stone has vanished from the exact spot Fitzgerald described, leaving a gap in the local memory rather than a complete loss. What remains is the shape of the absence: a rectangle of soil where two household names once sat beneath the sky.

Unable to locate recumbent 17th century graveslab located S of Killeshin church (LA032-020002-) in S quadrant of graveyard (LA032-020004-). According to Fitzgerald (1910, 198) ‘the oldest tombstone appears to be dated 1688; it is a flat slab on the south side of the churchyard and was erected to the memory of John Dodd’s and Bryan Hogan’s families’.
