  The epitah wording is very faded on this stone. The stone has slipped off its supports.

 Description: Stone much worn, no visible decoration.  The inscription is also very difficult to read with some sections not legible.  (Luke Doyle was born in Killeenbrack, Boher in 1786 and studied at Navan and Maynooth where he was later ordained. He served as curate in the parishes of Milltown, Navan (where he lectured at the diocesan seminary) and Moyvore before his appointment Adm., Kilbeggan in 1818.  He was appointed P P Tubber in 1820 and Clara two years later where he became Master of Conference and Vicar-General of the Diocese (Dr. Cogan - History of the Diocese of Meath)
