In a graveyard (KD032-037004-) which also contains a ruined church (KD032-037001-) and a cross (KD032-037003-). According to Fitzgerald (1912-14b, 1913, 83), ‘All the stone fragments … were discovered by me deeply sunk in the ground in different parts of the churchyard in March 1898 and April 1900. I caused them to be dug up with local assistance in order to take photographs of and make rubbings from them.’ The fragments comprise two end pieces (L c. 0.64m; Wth c. 0.54m), one bearing the Fitzgerald family arms, the other the Crucifixion, the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. John, together with three fragments from the front of the tomb, divided into plain oblong niches, each containing a male or female figure, the former clad in armour. Fitzgerald (op. cit) says it was originally a three-sided tomb which stood against a wall above the vault in the graveyard.
