Notes: 

It is not possible to read this stone. It is recorded in Breiffne antiquarian jouranal from the 1920s. 

"Undeneath a massive horizontal slab at the southern side of the graveyard and near the entrance gate rest 2 well known priests of the Kilmore diocese .rev Alexander McCabe PP Lurgan (1754-1774) and his brother Rev Bartle McCabe PP Killinkere (1765-1794) The inscription has long since been worn away and is now indecipherable. The grave was held in great veneration and was visited by large numbers of people year. Clay was taken away for cures and this accounts for the cavity under the stone "
