“This dolmen was erected in memory of the fallen volunteers of the 1st Battalion Derry Brigade Óglaigh na hÉıreann. The dolmen was first erected in Ireland about 3000 BC. It is believed that they were erected to honour an esteemed chieftain or warrior. Tógadh an leacht cuımhneacháın ın ónóır agus ı gcuımhne ar Chéad Chathlán Bhrıogáıd Dhoıre Óglaıgh na hÉıreann. Tugtar ómós do mhısneach agus d’ıobaırt na nóglach a thug a raıbh acu ar son saoırse na hÉıreann. [Homage is paid to the courage and sacrifice of the volunteers who gave all they had for Irish freedom.] Ní dhéan[m]ar dearmad ar a gcrógacht agus ar a n’íobaırt agus beıdh bunú na poblachta a n-o[ı]dhreacht. [We will not forget their bravery and sacrifice and the foundation of the republic will be their legacy.]
