Claregalway

Jamb of tomb niche, larger rolls topped by capitals and bases. Moulding from inner face comprises: large roll, hollow, roll, hollow, roll, hollow, large roll, hollow, roll, hollow, roll - this roll runs into the flat wall surface. Few of these western tomb niches have separate straight jambs with shafts provided with capitals and bases - this occurs more in fourteenth-century work like that at Kilmallock Dominican Priory, suggesting that this niche at Claregalway may be similar in date to that and perhaps work at Athenry.
