Among those stones is a thin green limestone slab, just under a metre tall and roughly four centimetres thick, carrying a spare incised inscription: the name Ann Willkins, and the year 1694.

The old church that once stood here was demolished before 1838 and replaced by the present Church of Ireland parish church. When the graveyard was converted into a public park, the surviving grave markers were not removed but repositioned along the perimeter, preserving them in situ while fundamentally changing the nature of the space. Three seventeenth-century graveslabs remain from this earlier period of use. The Willkins slab is one of them, recorded by Bradley and King in 1989 with careful attention to its dimensions and its quietly plain lettering. Green limestone, sometimes called calp, was a locally available material used widely in Irish funerary and ecclesiastical contexts during this period, and its colour deepens with age and weathering, giving such slabs a particular presence among the grass and stone of a former churchyard.
