Notes: 

A Rect. R.S. with an Ins. cut in capitals and in low false relief. The slab tapers markedly and seems to have been tooled over. It is possibly a reused medieval slab. Uncovered in 1990. A small heart occurs below the Ins.. See also Nos. 163 and 164 for other Murphy monuments. (See also Mourphy, No. 417).
