Limestone slab, very badly damaged and held together by cement and four iron stitches, situated on the ground S of the church. It has a three-line inscription in false relief around the margin, briefly stating that 'here lieth the corpse of Richard Hill Mayor of Drogheda and his wife Elizabeth'. (CLAJ 1945, 26; Bradley 1984b, 96-7). One of four tomb or memorial slabs (see also LH024-041091-, LH024-041102- and LH024-041103-) located in the modern church and graveyard; all are seventeenth-century in date.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (entry 943) (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
