Notes: 

This is a limestone headstone, measuring 1ft8in(H) x 3ft7in(W) x 4in(D), with east facing inscised Roman lettering. The stone mason has been economical with space for lettering, ie has used abbreviations, such as the word 'the' on the first line is written as ye.  Whilst the day of death is not noted on the stone itself, church records show that Murtagh (from Ballinahallia Moycullen) died on the 14 December 1800.
