Among these pieces is a decorated spandrel, the term for the roughly triangular space between an arch and its surrounding framework, carved with a central floral motif from which three points radiate outward. It is the kind of detail that would once have drawn the eye upward, part of a larger decorative scheme now reduced to its component parts.

The fragment is not entirely alone in its partial state. A more complete version of the same design sits adjacent to it, tucked beneath the embrasure of the east window, where the wall splays inward to admit light. The two pieces, similar enough to suggest they once belonged to the same decorative programme, now occupy an awkward afterlife, concreted into a gable rather than functioning as architecture. How they came to be detached from their original context is not recorded, but the east gable is a common location in Irish churches for the accumulation of salvaged stonework, gathered up during later repairs or modifications and pressed back into the fabric of the building in whatever way seemed practical at the time.
