The small roofless chapel or mausoleum (LE025-096012-) of the O’Duignans of Castlefore (LE024-053----) abuts the W end of the S wall of the large church at Fenagh (LE025-096001-). The O'Duignan commemorative plaque dated 1671 in its moulded frame (Wth 0.75m; H 1.17m) with a Latin inscription is on the exterior of its S wall. The crucifixion is in relief, but some symbols of the Passion such as the ladder and the whip are in false relief as is the Latin inscription in roman capitals, which is now very worn. The inscription was recorded by John O’Donovan in the 1830s (Herity 2012, 401) as: TORNA O’DUGENAN, SACER / DOS ET RECTOR ME FIERE FE /CIT, ANNO 1671, SUPER / SERVITE ? FRATRIO ? / EUGENI: DUGENEN QUI / OBIJT: 28: XBRIS 1667 / SUCCESSORIBUS ET MARITE EJUS / UNIO MEG RENNELL.
