Within the graveyard at the site of the medieval parish church of Magheracloone (MO033-005001-). There is a headstone shaped like a latin cross (H 0.85m; span 0.45m) with a narrow stem (dims 0.22m x 0.15m) commemorating Patrick Mahen, which has been recorded with the date 1688 (Shirley 1879, 374), but the date is now illegible. The legend is inscribed in roman capitals and reads: ‘IHS / PRAY FOR THE SOVL OF PATRICK / MAHEN MCARD MC BRE / MC LAVD W / HO DE / PART / ED THIS / LIFE IN / THE YEAR 1688 / …OF HIS AGE / HIS BRO.’ The inscription runs onto the N side of the stem ‘ART / WHO / .. / THIS / CROSL / .. / HIS BRO /’.
