Architectural fragment in An Gróbh

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

An Gróbh holds a limestone door jamb from a 16th-century building, its two chamfered edges and punch-dressed reveal still sharp enough to identify the craft. Someone broke it from a larger structure and set it upright as a grave marker near the south-west corner of the graveyard, turning a threshold into a boundary for the dead. That reuse suggests the place valued continuity: what entered a house of the living was fitted again at the edge of a field of the dead.
A section of a limestone door jamb of two chamfered orders which has 16th-century punch dressing on the reveal. It is reused as a grave-marker near the SW corner of 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) Date of upload: 16 January 2012
