What is recorded here
Freestanding square-plan ashlar limestone arched canopy, built c.1830, removed from elsewhere and re-erected possibly in Marian Year 1954 to shelter statue of Blessed Virgin Mary. Round arches to three sides with dressed voussoirs and imposts, and with coping course. Flat roof to canopy. Statue stands on octagonal limestone plinth and whole stands in triangular green at centre of village of Barnaderg.
This fine limestone canopy is very well crafted and has good detailing. It was brought from elsewhere in the mid-twentieth century and houses a religious statue, thus acting as a religious focus and a decorative focus for this small village.
