Notes: 

This is number 739 on the graveyard display panel.

Also it is number 195 in John O'Connor's 1994 survey of the graveyard headstone inscriptions.

Panel on the West end of the tomb was in 1994 laying on the ground which according to John O'Connor was knocked or fell from its position. There's no sign of it now at the survey of April 2015, or today 12 April 2016.
