A fragment of a tomb-surround that might be from the same tomb as the female effigy (ME01-016002-) on the E gable of the church is built into the tower over the doorway. (Hunt 1974, 1, 204) From Hunt (1974, vol. 1, 204): No. 185. Fragments of a tomb-chest Late 15th century. (Kilpatrick) Built into the wall over the south door in the tower of the church are some fragments of a late fifteenth-century tomb-chest with figures of saints. They are in the typical Meath style and portions of two figures of a side- or end-slab remain. On the dexter is St. Catherine, crowned, and with a sword held in both hands, and on the sinister, the upper portion of St. Peter holding a large key upright in his right hand. Both figures stand under foliate ogee niches. See attached image: Date of upload: 11 December, 2014
