Tomb — chest tomb in Carrowkeel (burrishoole By., Burrishoole Par.)

In Burrishoole Dominican friary (MA067-014001-) incorporated into an altar recess at the S end of the E wall of the S chapel. A 17th-century limestone chest tomb surmounted by a cut-stone round-headed arch is inserted into the 15th-century altar recess, partly blocking the double ogee-headed light. The edges of the coffin lid are sculpted with mouldings mirrored by similar mouldings along the base of tomb. A Latin inscription is carved in false relief along the front of the tomb just underneath the coffin lid: Orate pro anima Davidis oge Kelly qui me fieri fecit sibi et heredibus suis Anno Domini 1623 et ejus uxori Anabala Barrett. It translates as: Pray for the soul of David Kelly junior who had me made and his heirs AD 1623 and [for the soul] of his wife Anabla Barrett.’ Attached images: MA067-014005-_01.JPG 17th-century wall monument/O’Kelly tomb in 15th-century altar recess MA067-014005-_02.JPG Dedication carved on side of tomb MA067-014005-_03.JPG Date: 1623 Compiled by: Anne-Julie Lafaye and Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 January 2022
