The National Monuments Service's description
Attached to the N wall of the chancel of the parish church of Killary (ME012-020----) there is a corbelled mausoleum (ext. dims 5.15m N-S; 4.5m E-W) that was added to its N face. It has a double-splay window (Wth 0.3m; H 0.68m) in the E wall. The lintelled doorway (Wth 0.75m; H 1.58m) with a dressed sandstone surround has a dedication to Patrick Russell of Mitchelstown dated 1818, but this is an insertion onto an older structure.
