Crucifixion plaque in Ballypheasan is a crucifixion plaque in Ballypheasan, County Roscommon, Ireland. A relief showing the crucifixion and two figures, it is surrounded by fragments of medieval tracery and thought to have come from St. Coman's Well. Five dressed stones were set into the back wall of a garden in Chapel Lane where a Roman Catholic church stood from 1756 to 1834 after the old Session House was converted.
Five dressed stones were set into the back wall of a garden in Chapel Lane where a Roman Catholic church was located from 1756 to 1834 when the old Session House (RO9039-043015-) was converted into a church. However, the crucifixion plaque is thought to have come originally from St. Coman's Well (RO039-047----) (Siggins 1998c). The plaque (Wth 0.37-0.39m; H 0.33-0.36m) is in relief showing the crucifixion and two figures (Timoney 1980, 142-3). It is surrounded by some fragments of medieval tracery. After re-development of the area it is now displayed on a wall in Chapel Lane.
