Westwood/1879, 85, repeats this. Macalister/1945, 341: `afterwards built into the foundation of a new cottage `as the visitors were many and troublesome', and now buried out of sight'. Nash-Williams/1950, 107: `now lost'. |

| Palaeography: | Rhys/1877b, 137: `very fair capitals'. The inscription is in capitals. The R has a horizontal bar and an open bow, the B is also open bowed. The G is `sickle-shaped' and the final I is horizontal. The L has an oblique 'foot', and the Is of FILIUS are smaller than the other letters. The lower cross bar of the F is sloped downwards. Westwood/1879, 85, read the second letter of the father's name as a half-uncial E, others have seen it as an L. |
