What is recorded here
Freestanding square-plan mausoleum with crypt beneath, built c.1840. Rendered plinth walls to north and south, ashlar limestone wall to basement to west elevation and east elevation, having moulded limestone coping. Square-headed door opening to crypt with replacement metal door to west elevation. Recessed square panel over door opening which may have originally contained a dedication plaque. Entrance shared with mausoleum to west, divided by party wall, now covered over by late twentieth-century mesh guard. Located in graveyard to south of Saint Coleman's Church, built on site of ancient church of Clontibret.
This nineteenth-century mausoleum is built directly beside the ruins of the ancient church of Clontibret. The regularity of the mausoleum walls, built of ashlar limestone and smooth rendered rubble, forms a pleasing contrast with the irregularity of this ruin, and the two sites together had a sense of depth of time on the site. The ashlar limestone to the east and west elevations is of good quality craftsmanship. This mausoleum is one of a pair, sharing its entrance level and form with another mausoleum to the west.
