What is recorded here

Described by Farrelly et al. (1993, vol. 1, 194) as 'Located in the Bank of Ireland on the west side of Market Street. This stone plaque originally formed the keystone of an arched gateway in Marsh's Street [KK028-040022-]. It bears the armorial plaques of the Walsh and Brenan families on either side with the initials "J.W." and "C.B." inscribed in an elaborate central frame and a human head carved above this. The date "1645" is carved below with the names of "John Wailsh" and "Catrin Brenan". At some stage, the date "1794" was also incised onto the stone.'
