Description:
Photograph by Roger Stalley. View of east end of presbytery from the south-east showing buttress projecting from a battered masonry plinth. Disposition and size of the buttresses on north and south elevations suggest the existence of a rib-vault in the extended presbytery, probably divided into three bays. A similar arrangement exists at the Cistercian Abbey in Graiguenamanagh. Piers of the crossing and the west aisle of the north transept can be seen beyond the buttress.Role:
