What is recorded here

This is one of two identical tomb niches (see also GA084-001074-) in the N wall of the aisle that date to the 15th century. Unfortunately most of the dressed stones are missing in this example (Wth 2.08m; H 2.22m; D 0.38m). The intact example to its E indicates that it consisted of ‘two low ogee arches, underneath equilateral arches; the openings are richly moulded and cusped’ (Macalister 1913, 209). (Bradley and Dunne 1992, 33) The following image has been uploaded: GA084-001075-_01.jpg Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 12 November 2018
