Translation of Latin inscription: Walter de Burgh of the territory of Illeagh, caused this monument to be made for himself and he is buried in it. This sometime stalwart and wise captain who died June 10th in the year of his age and the - year of our Lord. Had as wife Sheila the daughter of O'Dwyer by whom he had a large family four sons, Theobald, William, Miles and John and several daughters all of whom were united to husbands of the highest rank. Whoever you be who cast your eye upon these monuments, pause awhile, read, learn to live, learn you to die. For Heaven born I have in all things the world pursued. From here expelled, I should of right be from there repelled. Remember you, be wise. Shun the world's allurements and Heavenly kingdoms seek. Pray for me. Patrick Kerin made me 1626.
