What is recorded here

A mitred stone head still crowns the keystone preserved at the parish priest's house in Rathmullan. It once topped the eastern window of Rathmullan Priory, framing a niche that still survives above the glass. The priory dates from the medieval era, when stone carvers shaped vine-leaves and religious symbols for worship. The head may have watched over prayers, marked holy space, or simply reminded people that God saw everything.

The tracery of the three-light E window of the chancel of Rathmullan Priory (DG037-007001-) fell in the later 19th century (Batt c. 1870, 181). The exterior is crowned by a moulded hood-mould with out-turned stops terminating in stylised vine-leaves. The hood-mould keystone is preserved at the parish priest's house. It is crowned with a mitred figure, the framed niche for which still survives above the E window.
