有人提出，在16世纪的世俗建筑中出现宗教形象和场景，可以被视为爱尔兰土著抵抗明斯特种植园之后的英国殖民活动的表现(J.A.Delle，1999，国际历史考古学杂志3：11-35)。然而，这样的图像可能只是中世纪用虔诚的图像装饰世俗房屋的传统在早期现代的延续。如果要在明斯特寻找当地天主教抵抗英国殖民和新教的宗教象征，那么也许更合适的形象是I.H.S.字母--一个与反宗教改革和耶稣会有关的象征。本文介绍了位于爱尔兰利默里克郡Gortnetubbrid的一座塔楼内的字母组合的例子。
It has been suggested that the presence of religious images and scenes in secular buildings of sixteenth-century date can be viewed as an expression of resistance by the native Irish to English colonial activity in the aftermath of the Munster Plantation (J. A. Delle, 1999, International Journal of Historical Archaeology3: 11–35). Such images, however, may merely represent a continuation into the early modern period of a Medieval tradition of adorning secular houses with devotional images. If a religious symbol of native Catholic resistance to English colonization and Protestantism in Munster is to be sought then perhaps a more appropriate image would be the I.H.S. monogram—a symbol associated with the Counter Reformation and the Jesuits. The paper presents an example of the monogram located within a tower house at Gortnetubbrid in County Limerick, Ireland.
