What is recorded here

Placed between the windows in the S wall of Killinaboy church (CL017-020001-). This elaborate memorial stone (H 2.18m; Wth c. 2.18m) with a round head, hood-mould and returned mouldings (Gilmore 1999, 29-30) is carved with a low-relief representation of the Crucifixion and two Marys, as well as panels with foliate carvings, with the date 1644 at the top.  Lower down, Westropp (1894, 28) recorded the following inscription: ‘UNDER THESE CARVED MARBEL STONES  LIETH CONNOR O’FLANAGA [sic] BODY AND   BONES WHICH MON MENT WAS MADE BY ANABEL HIS WIFE ORATE PRO EIS. LAUS DEO’  In an off-centre lowermost panel, containing low-relief carvings of leaves and flowers, a small head with a finely carved face was identified by Gilmore (1999, 30) who suggested that it might be the mason’s mark. There is an O’Neilan memorial stone (CL017-020012-) nearby to the E on the same wall.    Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott    Date of upload: 9-10-2025
