The National Monuments Service's description
A S transept was added to Clady church (ME031-019----), perhaps to display part of the cloister arcade thought to have come from Bective Abbey (ME031-026----) and which is now completely obscured (Moore 1961, 63). It consists of two cinquefoil arches from the cloister arcade (Wilde 1850, 95).
