    Hi michdee, I've moved your thread to the Gaeilge forum instead. Teach na nGealt has a fairly strict Irish-only policy. :)

    The inscription says

    "Tógadh an leacht seo
    i gcuimhne
    Bhriogáid Mhaigh Eo Thiar
    d'óglaigh na hÉireann
    a sheas an fód go calma
    annseo
    i gCeatramh Uí Chinnéide
    faoi cheannas an Gheineráil
    Micheál Mac Giolla Ruaidh
    in aghaidh Arm na Sasanach
    2 Meitheamh 1921."

    Which means, "This stone was erected in memory of the West Mayo Brigade of the IRA (or Irish Volunteers) who stood their ground bravely here in Carrowkennedy under the lead of Michael Kilroy against the English Army, 2nd of June 1921".

    Further information on the event can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrowkennedy_ambush
