The top of this headstone has broken off and is not lying
anywhere near the rest.  It does not look like there would
be much text missing.  I presume that the missing
Christian name is John, as there are plenty of other
references to "the above John Moore" but unfortunately
there are no references to townlands in the remaining
text.
The inscription reads:

[        ] MOORE who died [            ] aged [     ].

Thy will be done.
