 BALLINDOON ABBEY
Terence McDonogh lyes within this grave,
That says enogh for all that's generous, brave,
Fasecious, friendly, witty, just, and good,
In this loved name is fully understood
For it includes whate'er we virtue call,
And is the Hieroglyphic of them all.
" Pray for ye soul of ELLNR. O'ROIRKE, his wife,
who caused ye monument to be erected in ye year 1737."
Visitors to graveyards should not clean gravestones. The best time to view headstones is at low light, early or late in the day and during winter when growth of weeds is restricted. A full record of gravestone inscriptions can be viewed in the Sligo County Library. In addition the desired information can be purchased from the Sligo Heritage & Genealogical Centre (online).
