"Here lieth the body of Danl. Quer deceased April 2nd 1762 aged 24 years who was barberiusly (sic) murdered by John Hurly, John Pooer John Brien & others."
Danl Quer is thought to have been a Welsh quarry worker (See the NMAJ 1951 pg 98 Churches in the Deanery of Ormond by Dermot Gleeson). We don't know much about the circumstances of his death but it does bring to mind another gravestone at Knigh that details a murder and those accused of carrying it out.
