The National Monuments Service's description

Incorporated into the N face of the graveyard wall, immediately E of the E gate pier. The plaque has been painted white, with the lettering highlighted in black with a thin black border. The inscription is in latin and reads: LOCVS IN QVEM INTRAS TERRA SANCTA EST 1641 R. IONES PCENT. There is a large O after 'IN' which appears to be decorative. The inscription roughly translates as 'The place wherein you enter is holy ground' (pers. comm. Gerard Crotty). The name at the bottom of the inscription belongs to a Robert Jones who became the Precentor of Emly cathedral in 1628 (O'Dwyer and O'Dwyer 1987, 16).
