What is recorded here

Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 225) describes a number of graveslabs associated with the medieval church (KK024-001001-) at Sheastown. He also mentions, 'Portion of a slab, which originally served as the lintel of a door, most probably in some former residence of the Shees, in Sheestown. The inscription belongs to about the middle of the 17th century, is in slightly raised Roman capitals, and reads as follows: HAS AEDES RESTAVRAUIT R..... ARMIGER SVPRADICTI MARC...… ANNO DOMINI 1... . Translation - R[ichard Shee], gentleman, son of the above mentioned M[arcus], restored this house A.D. 1....'. The precise location of this memorial stone within the church or graveyard (KK024001002-) is unknown. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 15 March 2023
