Austin Cooper made some observations of this tomb in his diary for June 16th 1781 (page 23 of NLI Ms. Acc. 4841, Munster):'In this Abbey is an Old Tomb done in Free-Stone, the only one I have ever seen; the figure of a Monk (perhaps Clyn) carved in alto relievo thereon, but very much defaced.' John Hunt, author of "Medieval Irish Figure Sculpture", thinks it may have represented a woman.
