Notes: 

This headstone is leaning over backwards and has proven very difficult to read as it is upside down. As the weather disimproved while reading headstones in Oughterard, it became impossible to properbly decipher the inscription so parts of the reading are missing (flagged with '?').

The remainder of the reading can only be completed in the spring when techniques can be better used to decipher the rest of the inscription. The intention is to return to complete this reading and recheck a couple of others.
