Architectural fragment in Keel (trughanacmy By.)

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

Keel church keeps a broken capital in its south-west corner, a circular sandstone disc fifteen centimetres tall with a lipped depression at its centre. It may have crowned a column before falling into the churchyard, where it lay flat until someone set it into the wall as a marker rather than rubbish. The depression still holds rainwater like a small cup, waiting for hands that remember the column it lost.
In the SW corner of the church (KE046-021----) is a circular sandstone architectural fragment (diam. 0.56m; H 17.5cm) with a flat underside and a a central lipped depression (diam. 17cm) in its upper surface. It is probably part of a capital of a column (pers. comm. Denis Power).
