• DU018-275 Inscribed stone (present location)
  Description

  Originally located over the entrance doorway of Grange castle, Co. Laois (LA032-008001-) this stone was discovered in 1862 built into the wall of the churchyard at Monksgrange (LA032-009----). The stone (H 0.33m, W 0.3m) has the date 1588 at the top and the initials R.H. and g. b. (in lower case) carved below in relief. Between the R and H is a looped interlaced motif which has two links extended to wrap around a stem of each letter; undoubtedly, a symbolic love knot. The letters have been identified as belonging to Robert Hartpole and his wife, Grania O'Byrne. Robert Hartpole died in 1594, and was buried in St. Mary's parish church in Carlow. The datestone is in the possession of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland (DU018-275----). (Strickland 1922, 82-3) Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload; 2 October 2014
