Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland . re nosigns of one, however). There is a suggestion of chevron-likescribings on the pilasters, but they are now so much weather-worn that it is impossible to speak with any certainty of theircharacter. The impost mouldings of the north jamb have ahollow chamfer, and those of the south a double hollow. The outer arch ring is the most interesting feature, each stonehaving a carved patera on face and somte of the form shown, likea square having the angles cut off by quarter circles. The faceand somte paterae meet on the arris, and the corners are herehollowed out, leaving short, undercut, roll moulding on eachstone. Each patera contains a rosette or flower pattern; thoseon the face are nearly all undecipherable, the better protected 28 ROYAL SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF IRELAND soffite showing some half-dozen in good preservation. In someof these the border of the paterae is not continuous, and theflower has a stalk springing, as it were, from the face of thearch below. (See details Fig. 3.).
