The Decorated South Doorway
The crowning glory of the church is the magnificent Romanesque south doorway. This has a four-order arch. The outer order is masks, both human and beasts. The second order has a triangular serrated structure. The third order has a cusped or scalloped appearance. The inner order has some zigzag decoration with small inverted masks at the ends. The inner flat surface of this arch has diamond panels with foliage in the centre. The capitals of all the columns are richly carved. The two capitals of the outer order have human masks with intertwined hair and beards. In the third order the capitals are horned beasts. The columns are all richly decorated with a variety of motifs. The doorway dates from the 12th century and was inserted in its present position when the later church was built.
The Round Tower
To the north west of the church is the stump of a Round Tower with a fine round-headed doorway.
The High Cross
To the east of the church is a very fine High Cross. On the west face there are patterns and some intertwined beasts. There are also beasts on the two narrow edges. On the east face there is a Crucifixion in high relief and also the figure of a cleric holding a crozier. This is probably St Tola. There is an empty socket, which may have held the right arm of the cleric, which would have been raised in benediction.
