The top of the stone is more Ogee than oval with shoulders.  At the top there is an incised christogram with cross.
The script on the stone is incised Roman lettering.
* Whilst there is no townland given on the memorial for Bryan and Joan, the parish death record gives death of Brian Flaherty of Killagoola Moycullen on 19 November 1787 and the register when Joan died on 2 August 1799 gives her name as Joan Flaherty wife of Patt Flaherty of Ballyquirke Moycullen.  Joan may have remarried after Bryan died but no record of marriage in Moycullen parish record.
