It is above the door entrance. The following text is included in the inscription, "THIS TOWER was erected and THE ROAD leading to it made by the contributions of every class in this mixed community irrespective of creed or party all cordially united in esteem and affection for the Memory of JAMES CHAINE of Ballycraigy and Cairncastle County Antrim, who represented the County in the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland from February 1874 till the 4th of May 1885 when his early and lamented death in the 44th year of his age deprived his native County of one who had worked indefatigably for its interests especially in developing and improving the natural capabilities of the harbour of Larne and establishing its connection with Great Britain, the United States of America and with the inland parts of this County. Si monumentum requiris circumspice."
