“To the memory of MRS. ANNE WHITTY. 
Here lie beneath this marble stone consign’d 
Wife, Mother, Sister, Christian all combined 
Each station gently fill’d by God approv’d 
She died lamented, as she lived beloved 
The shaft by which the fatal blow was given 
No sting inflicting sent her soul to Heaven. 
Died 22 Feb 1826 .”

“The Bunbury family have a monument here – an ancient moat here – and in the adjacent townland of Waterstown is a rude stone cross in a socket, about seven feet in height. It is supposed that the parish church formerly stood at this place.’
