What is recorded here

Graveslab fragments from the 17th century still exist in Moathill, though their present location has become unclear. The limestone pieces once stood inside St Patrick's Classical School, bearing the broken words HERE UN../ ISE / FETH AVE..., while other school stones moved outside St Mary's church. That displacement turns a ordinary burial marker into a local ghost story: a dead name, half erased, waiting to be found again.

There is a record of a fragment of a 17th century limestone graveslab in three pieces (dims 0.15m x 0.12m; T 0.12m) that was kept at St Patrick's Classical School (Bradley and King 1985, 101). The fragmentary inscription reads: HERE UN../ ISE / FETH AVE... While other stones once kept at the Classical School have been moved to a position (ME025-044020-) outside the Roman Catholic church of St Mary’s, the precise location of this stone at the moment is not known.
