What is recorded here
Dysert O’Dea is the location of the Architectural fragment in Dysert (inchiquin By.). The available facts do not state whether that place is an area, a building or a lost feature. They identify the name and region, not the shape or history of the local feature.
A Romanesque corner capital (H 0.3m) described by Harbison (1987, 10) as ‘bearing a head, sloping outwards and downwards on the corner and placed in luxuriating foliage emanating from above and below the head before spreading out to cover the two unequal sides of the capital.’ Found in rubble outside the wall of Dysert O’Dea church (CL025-091001-) and housed in the Archaeology Centre in Dysert O’Dea castle (CL025-095002-).
