    If you could get a picture of the full slab up here it would be better.

    has anyone any idea of who is buried in the old ashbourne graveyard..
    i went to see it last week to have a look at it and i could just make out Plunkett 1727. the rest was faded and in latin. it is a grave of interest as it was said from school that it was an entrance to passageways under ashbourne. its a stone slab grave.
    it also has a skull and cross bones etched into the bottom of the slab
    a bit like this except a mirror

    cant find anything really on the net

    interesting though

    I surmise - indeed, I'd be quite certain - that if it is in Latin it is dealing with members of the Seagrave (Sedgrave/Segrave) family, lords of Killeglan until overthrown sometime after the Cromwellian Conquest in 1649. Along with the Barnwalls (de Barneval/Barnewelll/Barnwell) of Crickstown they were the most powerful family in this part of Meath.
