What is recorded here

A late Romanesque doorway in four orders with beaded hood-moulding, decorated with animal, geometric and foliage motifs. Set into the vestry entrance on N side of the modern Church of Ireland cathedral during its construction in c. 1860. Doorway is believed to have originated from Trinity Island (CV020-077001-), was subsequently moved to Slandore (CV025-0109---) and from there to its present location. (Davies 1948, 101-9; Killanin and Duignan, 102) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
