Architectural fragment in Cloone (mohill By.)

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

Cloone graveyard holds a sandstone fragment with a smooth curved hole, perhaps a twelfth-century window or a bullaun stone for rainwater. The ambiguity gives the place life: a church wall may have fallen into legend, or a holy well may have worn itself through rock. Either way, the hole still receives light, water or attention.
A fragment (dims 0.7m x 0.4m; H 0.28m) of a sandstone boulder in the graveyard attached to the site of the early church has the curved ingoing (diam. 0.42m; D 0.28m) of what might be a round-headed window of twelfth century date. It might also be interpreted as a fragment of a bullaun stone. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 6 December, 2019
