raphoe carved fragments

In the Church of Ireland cathedral in this town, there are carved fragments of a 12th century church lintel. In the hall of the church is a large stone bearing a representation of the Arrest of Christ. In the centre is Christ being arrested by two men; St. Peter stands near, sword in hand, to cut off the ear of Malchus, and on the right is a fragmentary Crucifixion. A similar stone (the right-hand fragment of the lintel), with the soldiers casting lots and Christ's tomb, is embedded in the outside of the north wall of the church. Other fragments of 15th - 17th century date are also built into the walls of the church. There is also a ruins of a 17th century castle here.
