What is recorded here
The architectural fragment in An Gróbh is a sandstone arch section with three receeding chamfers, probably from a round-headed doorway, now reused as a grave-marker south of the church. It may have stood at a threshold where people entered a building, watched a room, or marked a house before breaking and carrying became necessary. Even as a marker, it still points to doorway shape and human movement.
A section of a sandstone moulded arch with three receeding chamfers, which probably formed part of a round-headed doorway, is reused as a grave-marker in the graveyard (KE043-224006-) to the S of the church (KE043-224006-).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage et al., 'Archaeological Survey of the Dingle Peninsula.' (Oidhreacht Chorca Duibhne, 1986)
