I have assumed that the first letters "IW" in the inscription refer to John Wright.

Do the succeeding characters "DCDC5" in the inscription refer to others buried under the same stone, such as another "D. Cavanagh" (buried nearby in 1732, memorial 45248191)? Do they give a date? Do they convey an abbreviated message?

1732 is the first known year in which the property owner, Daniel Howell (1688-1733), made burials in this cemetery. In that year he buried his wife here, and he surely knew the others who were buried here in 1732.
