What is recorded here
Derby O’Bryen died in 1690, leaving behind a headstone in Rathpatrick graveyard rather than a vanished name. Roman capitals cut into the stone still mark the exact moment he stopped belonging to the living world. That much is certain, but the shape of his life remains absent.
A headstone in Rathpatrick graveyard (KK044-014002-) with an English inscription in Roman capitals commemorating Derby O’Bryen. The headstone is dated 1690. (Cockerham 2009, 362)
