Just in front of the sanctuary, to the left, are two surviving tomb slabs of the Irish earls. To be found is a modern commemorative slab to Hugh O'Neill, exiled Earl of Tyrone (1540-1616), and the two original 17th century marble memorial slabs to his son Hugh (born 1562), Baron of Dungannon and to Rory or Ruari, Earl of Tyrconnell.
