Notes: 

  

Description: Head of stone – in relief – incised I H S with a small Cross above the H, the Cross has very pronounced “Nail” terminals.   The incised inscription is crudely done.  It suggests that Cicily died at the birth of 3 children i.e. triplets, does it suggest that the babies also died ?? - the surname of her husband is very difficult to decipher, it is most likely Netherville, who was a major landlord in Ballymore at this time
