Wall monument

Effigy of a bishop. 13th cent. Rectangular limestone slab set upright in the niche on the north side of the east window. The head and feet of the effigy are carved in relief but the centre of the badly fragmented slab appears to be uncarved. The surface is very worn. The figure wears an alb, chasuble, an amice and mitre. The ears are carved flat, the right hand is raised in blessing and the left hand holds an inturned jewelled crozier. Two angels rest on his shoulders. Dims: H 226 W. 54 T. 6 (min). The above description is derived from Bradley, J., et al. 1987 Urban Archaeology Survey Part XIV County Kerry (31). Unpublished report.
