- (continued from previous page)shield sculptured with a coat of arms, in relief of the Lords of Upper Ossory.
Underneath the shield is the following much worn and almost illegible inscription in raised Roman capitals. "Florence the Baron of Upper Ossory, died 11 February 1613, and Catherine Moore his wife, died the 30th of December 1612."
