The National Monuments Service's description
The tracery of the three-light E window of the chancel of Rathmullan Priory (DG037-007001-) fell in the later 19th century (Batt c. 1870, 181). The exterior is crowned by a moulded hood-mould with out-turned stops terminating in stylised vine-leaves. The hood-mould keystone is preserved at the parish priest's house. It is crowned with a mitred figure, the framed niche for which still survives above the E window.
