Set in to W face is an inscribed plaque dedicated to the Lynch family. The inscription reads: ‘Pray for the soules of John Lynch fitz Geffrey fitz Domnick of Gallway late of Lavally & Mary Lynch fitz William fitz Andrew his wife & his son Thomas Lynch fitz John of Gallway late of Lavally and his wives Ellinor Martin fitz Thomas of Cuale and Ann Joyes fitz John fitz Andrew and their posterity 1712 +’ (Blake 1914, 75-6).

- GA095-078 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
Description
In flat pastureland with outcropping rock, c. 450m to the SE of the Clarinbridge River. This tomb is now in ruins having collapsed c. 1930. Westropp's (1901, 438) account indicates that it comprised a roughly wedge-shaped chamber (L c. 2.5m; Wth 1.4m at W narrowing to 1.3m at E), aligned E-W, formed of two stones at N and one stone at S, which supported a large roofstone. It would seem probable that the monument was a wedge-tomb.
