What is recorded here

Five dressed stones were set into the back wall of a garden in Chapel Lane where a Roman Catholic church was located from 1756 to 1834 when the old Session House (RO9039-043015-) was converted into a church. However, the crucifixion plaque is thought to have come originally from St. Coman's Well (RO039-047----) (Siggins 1998c). The plaque (Wth 0.37-0.39m; H 0.33-0.36m) is in relief showing the crucifixion and two figures (Timoney 1980, 142-3). It is surrounded by some fragments of medieval tracery. After re-development of the area it is now displayed on a wall in Chapel Lane. See the attached image. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
