Northern aisle of the Cistercian Abbey of Corcomroe, County Galway, Ireland. The church,
which dates from 1210 to 1225, was planned as a reduced
version of the normal Cistercian scheme with only one chapel opening
off each transept (so a narrower aisle was required) and the aisle and
its arches are not arranged symmetrically north and south and there is some
doubt about whether a north aisle was ever built.
