Architectural fragment in Clonagam

When the original Christ Church Cathedral in Waterford (WA009-005020-) collapsed in 1770 stones from the W window were brought to Clonagam by the Marquess of Waterford with the intention of re-erecting them beside the replica round tower on Tower Hill (Ryland 1824, 283). The tower remains incomplete (H c. 20m) and the stones have become scattered (P 1894), but some have been located in a coniferous forest, and others may have been moved to Kilbunny church (WA008-010001-) in the 1920s.
