Cill Dálua. Killaloe, Tomb of King Murtogh O'Brien. Photographer: Mercer
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Archaeological Photography
View of the quadruple Romanesque arched recess in 'the south-west corner of the wall of Killaloe Cathedral. Beneath the arch, and forming, as it were, the floor of the recess, is a flat tombstone, on which a cross is incised...It seems doubtful whether this arch was merely a sepulchral recess, or whether it formed the doorway to a chantry or sepulchral chapel...If the latter, it seems curious that no remains of the chapel can be found, and that the tombstone should be under the doorway.' The archway has been whitewashed for the purposes of the photograph, since, as a note explains, 'it is to be regretted that no successful photograph can be made of it. Built as it is in a very dark corner of the cathedral, and tha arch being formed entirely of black marble, it was found impossible to get any photograph of it without whitewashing the whole, and this very much destroys the beauty of the effect.'
