The National Monuments Service's description

An armorial stone is attached to the W side of the tower at St. Selskar’s church (WX037-032009-). The fragmentary inscription beneath the shield is interpreted as referring to Richard Stafford of Rahale (WX032-039----) and his wife Anstance Sutton (W. B. V. 1898-1900; Hore 1900-11, vol. 5, 75). Richard Stafford was descended from a junior branch of the Staffords of Ballyconor (WX048-033001-). There is a view that the armorial stone was combined with the memorial stone (WX037-032031-) to form a single memorial (FitzGerald 1901-03).
