Notes: 

This East facing square top Limestone Ledger Stone measures 6ft9ins(H) x 3ft3ins(W) x 7ins(D).  At the top of the stone a Christogram is carved in relief under an arc.  The script is simply incised Roman style and the mason was unconcerned about misspelling and the bad practice of splitting words over separate lines.
Whilst not noted on the stone, Church records show that at the time of John's marriage to Bridget Hession in Moycullen on 9 February 1805, his address was given as Kylebroghlan.  Their subsequent children's baptismal records also show Kylebroghlan as their address.
