Originally incorporated in a mural tower (KK027-024003-) at Castle Eve. Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 329), describes how, ‘Fixed into the side of one of the windows, in the most ancient part of the ruins, there was, till 1886, a slab bearing the coat of arms of John Sweetman, exactly as they are to be seen on his monument in Newtown church, viz.: party per pale; dexter, ermine, a fesse, in base a chevron, for Sweetman; sinister, also divided per pale, fretty, an eagle displayed. Towards the top of the shield are the initials I.S. for John Sweetman, and the date 1580’. This coat of arms is currently in Rothe House, Kilkenny (Salter 2004, 64).
