The National Monuments Service's description
A limestone plaque (dims 1m x 0.34-0.38m) from a ringfort in Doobally, probably (LE001-035----), has been installed on the wall of the porch of Tullaghan Roman Catholic church. It is broken on the right-hand side and has an incised inscription in Latin commemorating Rev. Eugene Magowan who founded a chapel in 177?. The bullaun stone (LE001-063001-) from the same location is also in the porch. The inscription reads: VOS OMNES QVI TRANSI (TIS OR) / ATE PRO REVERENDO PA (TR) / E EVGENIO MAGOWAN HVIVS (CAP) / PILLAE DONDITORE ANN (od) / …OMNI 177(?) (Ó Gallachair 1958, 28 9)
