Cistercian Abbey, Jerpoint, Co Kilkenny
Photograph by Roger Stalley. East elevation of presbytery showing pointed, traceried, three-light window which is cusped throughout. The three lights have round heads, the central lower than the outer to accomonate the roundel (damaged but once filled with whirling mouchettes) which fills the head. The hood is moulded with a hollow carved with ball-flower ornament. Original Romanesque round-headed windows and related string course also visible as blocked up features.
