Architectural fragment in Knockbarron

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

Knockbarron holds a sandstone voussoir from a Romanesque doorway, its chevron still sharp despite years on the ground. It lies inside a stone barrel-vaulted chamber at the west end of a twelfth-century church, perhaps dropped when the arch changed or failed. The fragment stops being waste because it preserves the shape of an entrance no longer standing whole.
