Inside the church at Patrickswell in County Tipperary, a small collection of architectural fragments has been gathered and incorporated into the building's interior, including one particularly fine piece: a label stop carved with two ivy leaves and an intertwined stem, now set inverted into the eastern end of the south wall.

A label stop is the decorative terminal at either end of a hood moulding, the projecting stone trim that runs over a doorway or window to deflect rainwater. These stops were a common feature of medieval ecclesiastical stonework, and carvers used them as a small canvas for ornament, faces, foliage, or abstract forms. The ivy motif here, with its two leaves and winding stem, belongs to a vocabulary of naturalistic decoration that became popular in Gothic ecclesiastical carving from the thirteenth century onwards. That this particular piece now sits inverted in a wall suggests it was displaced from its original position at some point, perhaps during repair work or partial rebuilding, and later reused as convenient infill. It would not have been placed this way intentionally when first carved, since the visual logic of a label stop depends on its correct orientation relative to the arch it once crowned. The presence of several such fragments together in the interior hints at a more extensive earlier structure, or at least one that was substantially altered, with these carved stones surviving as loose evidence of what came before.
