The National Monuments Service's description
The parish church of Gorey (WX007-033001-) was within a rectangular graveyard (WX007-033002-) defined by masonry walls. The tomb-chest of Archbishop Ram (D 1634) is within the graveyard. This is an oblong structure (dims. 1.85m x 0.95m; H 0.75m) with an English and Latin inscription in relief on the W end-stone. It lies over a vault that was opened temporarily around 1909 and then sealed (Cantwell 1974-85, vol. 5, No. 189).
