- (continued from previous page)Joseph Damer (1628-1720) is buried in Shronell Grave yard at the N. E. corner. The mound on his grave is still high. There is no headstone The alleged reason for the mound being higher that when hw was being buried there coffins were used all of land. He was put in one of them + three more corpses in the other two. Nobody knew which was which. This was a precaution lest his remains would be interfered with. "His Man" is buried beside him. I give this for it seems or seemed to be universally accepted he was buried in Dublin in St Paul's Graveyard - His nephew John Damer of the County of Dorset was.

Shronell
Damer of Shronell had plenty of gold
And Devonshire treasures were twenty times more
They lay on their back mid kettles + stone
Agus Fáfims siúd mar atha siad
