In the SW angle of the Grace chapel in Tullaroan church (KK018-032001-). The lid (L 2.07m; Wth 1.01m; T 0.13m) of a chest tomb commemorating Richard Grace, son of Robert of Adamstown, and wife Honora Shortall, dated c. 1600 (Cockerham and Harris 2001, 183). The lid currently rests on a reconstructed chest. The cross is decorated with a seven-armed interlace cross with fleur-de-lys terminals and the shaft rises from a simple triangular base. The inscription, in latin, in raised Roman capitals is visible along the sinister border (Wth 0.12m), the base and continues up the cross shaft (Wth 0.08m). Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 494) gives the inscription as: RICARDVS GRACE ROB'TI DE ADAMSTOWNE ET ONORA SARTEL EIVS VXOR ME FIERE F[ECRERVNT], and the translation as, 'Richard Grace fitz Robert, of Adamstown, and Onner Shortall, his wife, got me made'.
