This wall monument is a tomb niche (Wth 3.12m; H 2.66m; D 0.53m) and is the westernmost example of three (see also GA084-001071- and GA084-001072-) that are visible in the S wall of the nave of the Dominican church (GA084-001014-). Described by Macalister (1913, 208) as ‘a handsome structure of three three-centred moulded arches, supported on slender columns’. The three niches display elements of Romanesque and Transitional architecture, including foliage, nail-head, chevron and cable designs, which suggest that they date to the initial construction phase of the church c. 1241 (McKeon 2009, 38). (Bradley and Dunne 1992, 38)
