This square topped East facing limestone ledger slab measures 5ft6ins(H) x 2ft7ins (W) x 4ins(D).  The top left hand corner is broken away. The inscription is incised Roman style, all capitals.  There is a Christogram at the top of the stone.This slab originally held a Brachiapod fossil pictured in Moycullen Heritage Dead Zoo Lab Project 2025. Our Irish Natural History; following our fossils Archives - Moycullen Heritage The fossil is now missing but the socket in which it rested can still be seen.
The date on the stone may reflect date of erection rather than year of deaths.
