What is recorded here
That is the exact origin, shape and function of the fragment. The story must stop inventing a hidden identity or claiming more than the visible facts.
From Tintern Abbey (WX045-027001-) Cistercian monastery, Co. Wexford. Currently in the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD050). A roughly pentagonal block of stone (H 0.335m; Wth 0.32m; T 0.15m) with diagonal tooling on the back. This functioned as a springer stone for two chamfered arches (Wth of chamfer 0.085m).
