INSCRIPTION:
Erected to the memory of John Kinsella of Croghan who was foully slain in defence of home and country by the bullets of the Property Defence Association on the 28th of Sept. 1887 in the 64th year of his age.
The monument was erected by the men of Wicklow and Wexford as a testimony of their respect for his many Christian virtues and as an indignant protest against the cruelty and injustice of those who before God are guilty of innocent blood.
RIP.
