It bears an inscription commemorating two couples and reads ‘PRAY FOR THE SOVLE (of) WILLIAM BOYNE AND HIS WIFE: IOCNESE [sic] BODAN AND SARA MORAN: AND HIS CHIDREN, 1697. IHS MARIA’. A complete plough is carved beneath the inscription and then the name ‘IAMES ROVAN’ (Macalister (1913, 217, XX, Fig. 8, No. 16).
