What is recorded here

This tapering graveslab (L 1.54m; Wth at top 0.54m; base Wth 0.38m; T 0.12m) is broken in two pieces and a chunk of the bottom part of the lower piece is missing. When described by Macalister (1913, 217, XXI, Pl. VIII, No. 6) it was complete but much worn. It was decorated with an incised plough sock and coulter and an inscription on the sinister side read: DANIEL NOLAN 1700 (ibid.), the latter is now illegible. This slab is to the N of the second wall monument (GA084-001071-) in the S wall of the nave of the Dominican church (GA084-001014-). (Bradley and Dunne 1992, 40-41) The following image has been uploaded: GA084-001063-_01.jpg Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 12 November 2018
