Architectural fragment in Tralee

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

Dominican friars in Tralee likely cut the chamfered edge before the medieval building fell into ruin. The stone reappeared inside a church rockery, turning a forgotten window into a decorative feature. Faith and forgetting crossed in that garden, giving the fragment a second life under new skies.
This record is for a chamfered pick-dressed window jamb (H 0.29m; Wth 0.3m; T 0.26m) which is built into a rockery in the garden of the modern Dominican church in Tralee. 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 Unpublished report. Office of Public Works. Date of upload: 23 January 2012
