The National Monuments Service's description
According to Bradley and Dunne (1992, 34), there were two decorated fragments of the panel of a late-15th/early-16th-century tomb in the Dominican church (GA084-001014-). One bore an ecclesiastic, the other an angel. A third fragment, representing St Dominic, was stolen from the church and is missing. These fragments were not located on inspection in October 2018.
