One in particular catches the eye: a label stop carved with two fleur-de-lys in raised relief and a rose, positioned nearest the north wall. A label stop is the ornamental terminating block at either end of a hood moulding, the projecting stone trim used above doors and windows in medieval and later ecclesiastical architecture to deflect rainwater. That such a piece now sits embedded in concrete at the foot of a wall speaks to a long history of reuse, salvage, and quiet accumulation.

The fragments were not made for this location. At some point, carved stonework from an earlier structure, or an earlier phase of the building, was repurposed and set into the fabric of the church rather than discarded. The imagery is worth pausing over. The fleur-de-lys, a stylised lily form with strong associations with French Gothic architecture and Marian devotion, appears frequently in Irish ecclesiastical carving from the medieval and early post-medieval periods. The rose, similarly, carried both religious and heraldic resonance across centuries of church decoration. Taken together, the carvings suggest a piece of some ambition, likely from a window or doorway surround of a building with pretensions to quality stonework, even if nothing more specific about its origins can now be said with confidence.
