Appraisal
This mausoleum was built for Denis O'Mahony and is one of a pair. Though smaller than many mausolea, it is highly ornate and is a valuable reminder of the local social importance attached to this church site. Its presence in the graveyard adds further variety to the collection of grave markers.
