What is recorded here

Five late medieval limestone panels line the north transept wall of the modern Carmelite church in County Kildare. One broken sixteenth-century panel shows a figure gripping a patriarchal cross, perhaps marking a dead friary member or a forgotten donor. The stones may have traveled from the nearby Carmelite or Franciscan friary, carrying breath and prayer across a changed landscape.

Late medieval limestone panels (KD022-029062-, KD022-029063-, KD022-029064-, KD022-029065- and KD022-029066-) set in the N transept wall of the modern Carmelite church may have originated in the earlier Carmelite Friary (KD022-029007-) immediately to the S, however, acording to Bradley et al. (1986 Vol. 3, 244-6), they are said to have come from the Franciscan Friary (KD022-029006-). KD022-029063---- is a 16th century broken panel (H 0.42m; Wth 0.29m) decorated in false relief with the upper part of a figure holding a patriarchal cross in the right hand, set in an ogee-headed panel.
