What is recorded here

Incorporated into a wall at the entrance to the farmyard adjacent to Lisglassock House. This rectangular plaque (H 0.63m; Wth 0.51m; T 0.12m) bears a Latin inscription, in Roman letters carved in relief, which reads: 'Faemina virque torus vivos quos / iunxerat unus uno hoc in tumulo / faemina virque jacent'. This has been translated as 'a wife and husband whom one bed had joined when alive lie in this one tomb a wife and husband' (English 1975, 158). On stylistic grounds it has been dated c. 1550-1600 (ibid.). Its original provenance is unknown. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 5 June 2013
