Isaac Butler, writing c. 1749, describes the church at Donaghpatrick (ME017-034006-) as a ruin but records a graveslab of Patrick Plunket (1575) and his wife Elizabeth Barnewall of Cribistown (Gibstown) in its chancel, which is still present (Butler 1892, 127-8).
From Butler’s notes (c. 1740): The church, from its ruins, must have been considerable. It is a great burial-place, several large gravestones, but so obsolete that there is no reading them. There is one in the chancel of said church, on the right-hand of the altar with the following inscription:
ORATE PRO ANIMABUS / PATRICII PLUNKET DE- / CRIBISTON QUI OBIT 1 / NOVEMBR AD 1575. ET / ELIZABETH BARNEWALL / QUAM SIBE PRIE M U / UXOR O… QUI OBIIT / 14 AUGUSTI / 1550, ET / MARGARETE DLINU…C / QUAM DE T … DE DIN QUE / DE VITA MICARAVIT 1588 / ALEXANDER PLUNKET HEREDES.
