dc.description	Photograph by Roger Stalley. Exterior of thirteenth-century addition to east end presbytery showing buttresses projecting from a battered masonry plinth. Disposition and size of the buttresses 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.	en
