What is recorded here

A possible graveslab (WM029-042090-), said to have been taken from the Friary (WM029-042001-) graveyard (WM029-042092-), lies in the back garden of the public house at Coosan Point. The owner refused to give permission to see it but examination of a photograph indicates that it is a small coffin-shaped stone decorated in low relief with a pointed arch on which is incised: GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO. In the spandrels on either side of the arch are angels' heads and a leavy spray while inside the arch is a three storeyed battlemented castle with two animals on either side as supporters and another animal on top (Bradley et. al. 1985, 45).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
