What is recorded here

Poulnabrone Dolmen is the oldest dated megalithic monument in Ireland, sitting on the high Burren limestone plateau in County Clare. Two massive portal stones still hold a sloping capstone above a narrow entrance, shaping a chamber where ancient people placed the dead. It remains the second most visited location in the Burren after the Cliffs of Moher, drawing people to stand inside that small stone room and imagine the hands that built it.

Mounted on the S wall within the chancel of Kilfenora cathedral (CL016-015002-). Four panels from a chest tomb with an inscription in relief in large capitals commemorating William Magencharig i(?) and his wife Elizabeth. The tomb is dated 1650.
