This wall monument (Wth 2m; H c. 1.9m; D 0.6m) is the easternmost example of three tomb niches (see also GA084-001070- and GA084-001071-) that are visible in the S wall of the nave of the Dominican church (GA084-001014-). A double piscina is visible to its E. Apart from moulded column stones and a decorated terminal stone all the stonework has been removed. When Macalister (1913 208-9) visited the site only the western jamb and the spring of the arch above it were visible as it was concealed by masonry and a modern altar tomb; the latter has also been removed. 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, 32)
