Armorial stone (dims. 0.9m x 0.73m) incorporated into the N face of the N boundary wall of Emly graveyard near the W end of the RC church beside a 17th-century memorial plaque (TS065-013013-). It was formerly in the wall of the medieval cathedral (TS065-013002-), was removed to Monard church after the cathedral had been demolished and was returned to Emly after the church at Monard was demolished in 1960 (O'Dwyer and O'Dwyer 1987, 16). This stone carries the arms of the Hurley family. The shield bears a bend charged with two mullets and a hand, between six crosses patee. Above the shield there is a closed helmet in profile from which a garland issues forth. The helmet is surmounted by what appears to be a bird, close, in profile with a cross patee on it's breast. Beneath the shield there is a latin motto in Roman Capitals which reads: DEXTRA CRUCE VINCET, this translates as : My right hand conquers by the cross (Fairbairn 1984).
