An O'Dwyer memorial plaque is located in the N wall of porch of C of I church which is located at the W end of a long rectangular graveyard (TS046-048002-) which contained a medieval church (TS046-048001-) in the E end. The plaque bears a latin inscription in Roman script which has been transcribed by Rev. St John Seymour (FitzGerald 1907-09, vol. 7, 669) as: ADJUVA ME DEUS GULIELM' DWYER FILI' JACENTIS HAEC FIERI FECIT SUPER CADAVERA PARENTU AC PRAEDECESSORU 2o DIE MENSIS SEPTERMBRIS Ao DM 1635 PLORATE QUIA STATUTU E OIBj HOIBj ' SEMEL MORI VIGILATE QUIA NESCITIS DIEM NEQUE HORAM ORATE QUIA SANCTA ET SALUBRIS E COGITATIO PRO DEFUNCTIS E ORARE REQUIESCANT 1 PAGE. It was translated by White (1892, 56) as, 'Judge Me O God, William Dwyer, son of him lying here, caused these to be placed over the corpses of his parents and his predecessors. The second day of the month of September, A.D. 1635. Weep, because it is appointed to man once to die, Watch for you know neither the day nor the hour, Pray , because it is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray for the dead, May they rest in peace, I.H.S. M.A.'.
