Corcomcoe_Abbey_115_2013

Presbytery in the Cistercian Abbey of Corcomroe, County Galway, Ireland. The presbytery is rib-vaulted in two bays and its construction is of a good quality. It contains a fine sedile [plural of sedilia], together with the effigy of king Conor na Suidane O'Brien (d. 1267), grandson of the founder. Corcomroe is the only Irish abbey where some preparatory drawings survive: they are to be found incised on a surface of plaster on two walls within the church.
