Inscription from the Church  Igreja de Sao Joao Baptista  in Lumiar outside of Lisbon, Portugal where the relic is kept:

Here in these three tombs lie the three Irish knights who brought the head of St. Brigid, Virgin, a native of Ireland, whose relic is preserved in this chapel. In memory of which, the officials of the Table of the same Saint caused this to be done in January A.D. 1283
