What is recorded here

Narraghmore Demesne holds a devil’s head gargoyle mounted high on the west gable of a 19th-century church. The graveyard also contains marks of an earlier medieval church and a medieval font, linking the bright new building to older faith and local memory. The sharp face looks out over Kildare fields, turning a ordinary church into a place where joy, fear and time share one stone edge.

Mounted high on the W gable of a 19th-century church, standing in a graveyard (KD032-041001-) which also contained an earlier, medieval church (KD032-041----). There is also a medieval font (KD032-041002-) in the graveyard. The gargoyle is a well-preserved and well-executed representation of a devil’s head.
