What is recorded here

Graveslab in Mullanarockan is a rectangular stone in Tedavnet graveyard, County Monaghan, bearing the name John Forster and the date 1677. It lies four metres north of the Richard Robinson memorial wall, marking a life ended before most local records began. The Forster crest and mortality symbols suggest a family proud enough to carve warning and identity into cold stone.

A rectangular stone (L 2.04m; Wth 1.01m; T 0.1-0.15m) has an inscription in roman capitals in false relief over the Forster crest of three inverted arrowheads separated by an inverted chevron.

The inscription reads: HERE LIETH INTERRED THE / BODY OF IOHN FORSTER / ESQUIRE WHO DEPARTED THES / LIFE THE 3rd DAY OF MAY ANNO / DOM 1677.
