Architectural fragment in An Gróbh

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

One large sandstone dripstone stands as a grave marker in the graveyard south of the church in An Gróbh. It joined two other similar stones in marking death after first shaping life elsewhere. The reuse suggests a community that valued sturdy local stone enough to carry it through changing purposes.
One of the three large sandstone dripstones which is reused as a grave-marker in the graveyard (KE043-224006-) to the S of the church (KE043-224005-). See attached photograph taken from Dunne 2011, 43. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage et al., 'Archaeological Survey of the Dingle Peninsula.'
