What is recorded here

Rathmelton received a carved window-head rescued from Augnish Isle when the island church closed in the early 17th century. The tidal island had probably held a worship site since the 12th or 13th century, making the transferred stone a fragment of much older devotion.

The church (DG037-021001-) on Augnish Isle was replaced by another in Ramelton town in the early 17th century. A small, carved, window-head is said to have been removed there from the island (Kinahan 1885-6, 424). The site which was located on a small tidal island in Lough Swilly probably dates from at least the 12th/13th century.
