What is recorded here

Situated in the SE corner of Donagh graveyard (MO007-007004-) is the graveslab of Philemy McKenna, which is surrounded by iron railings. It is now set up as an altar-tomb supported on four piers, but the table (L 1.81m; Wth 0.87m) with a high moulded edge (H 7cm) also has a drain-hole near the SE corner, so it was probably intended to be displayed in this fashion. The inscription in false relief has been read (Shirley 1879, 295) as: HERE LYETH THE / BODY OF / PHILEMY MAK / KENNA DEC / ASED THE 15 OF / APRIL 1666 (Shirley 1879, 295; McCarney 1957, 196).
