What is recorded here
That is the origin of Rathvilly. A church stood there before the town, and the church left a lintel behind. The town took the lintel into its own story. Everything else is a room built around that first door.
A granite lintel (L 1.84m; H 0.48m; T 0.34m), possibly from the Church (CW009-028001-). (Harbison 1991, 181 (No. 4))
