[p 60] The stone which lies flat on the ground is very much broken and some parts of the inscription are hard to make out. There are armorial bearings at the end of the inscription, viz. :- A Crest, a tortoise above a helmet - The Arms, a chevron between three ravens. Though the inscription has already appeared on p45 Vol. V of "The Journal" yet it is reproduced from the pen of Mr. GARSTIN, FSA who thus makes clear the very puzzling contracted Latin' :- TRANSLATION Jos[eph?] second son of Jos[eph?]and Ann DEANE, born at Ravensthorpe in Northamptonshire 6th of Jan. 1648 and married to Eliz. daughter of John PARKER Archbishop of Dublin and died at Dublin on the 18th of Jan. 1698 and [was] buried at [Crumlin ?] on the 20th day [of same month?] Note.- Dr. John PARKER, D.D., Archbishop of Tuam was translated to Dublin by patent dated 28th February 1678/9.

KINSELLA, Leixlip, 1901] 'The following with reference to Furlong's grave from a work published many years ago. The inscription quoted I compared with that on the monument and found it correctly given' :- THE POET'S GRAVE "On the left there stood the monument I had gone to see, a neat pyramid of mountain granite as lasting as the fame of him for whose memory it was erected. On each side of it was neatly sculptured a laurel crown. It stood upon a solid and ornamental quadrangular base, and on a black marble slab on one side was the following tribute to him who slept beneath" :- To the Memory of Thomas FURLONG, Esq. In whom the purest principles of Patriotism and honour were combined with Superior Poetic Genius This Memorial of Friendship is erected by those who valued and admired his various talents, public integrity and private worth. He died 25th July, 1827 aged 33 years. May he rest in peace! ___________________________________________________________________________ Journal of the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead in Ireland Vol 6 (FHL # 0258795)
