A total of 11 cadaver monuments have been recorded in Ireland, many of which are no longer [[in situ]]. The earliest complete record of these monuments was compiled by [[Helen M. Roe]] in 1969.<ref>Roe (1969), pp. 1–3</ref> One of the best known examples of this tradition is the monumental limestone slab known as "The Modest Man", dedicated to Thomas Ronan (d. 1554), and his wife Johanna Tyrry (d. 1569), now situated in the [[Christ Church, Cork|Triskel Christchurch]] in Cork. This is one of two examples recorded in Cork, with the second residing in [[Church of St Multose]] in Kinsale.
A variant is in the form of Cadaver Stones, which lack any sculpted superstructure or canopy. These may merely be sculptural elements removed from more elaborate now lost monuments, as is the case with the stone of Sir Edmond Goldyng and his wife Elizabeth Fleming, which in the early part of the 16th century was built into the churchyard wall of [[St. Peter's Church of Ireland, Drogheda]].<ref>Roe (1969), p. 4</ref>
