What is recorded here

Four cloister pillars from the medieval Dominican friary survive inside a modern rockery in Tralee. Their sugar barley edges still catch light, proving that dominican hands shaped stone before the church replaced their building. The rockery hides rather than harms them, turning a garden into a quiet archive where forgotten prayer still stands exposed.

This record is for a cloister pillar (one of 4) which is built into a rockery in the garden of the modern Dominican church in Tralee. It has sugar barley edge shafts. It is presumably from the medieval Dominican friary (KE029-236001-). The above description is derived from Bradley, J., et al. 1987 Urban Archaeology Survey Part XIV County Kerry. Unpublished report.
