Similar chevron with beaded mouldings and with foliage decoration in the triangles is found in the arch of the W doorway at nearby Donaghmore (Tipperary). There are other examples at Monaincha (Tipperary), Killaloe and Tuamgraney (Clare), Annaghdown (Galway), Clonmacnoise and Rahan (Offaly), Killeshin (Laois), and Wicklow.
