What is recorded here

Architectural fragment in Baurstookeen is an architectural fragment in Baurstookeen, County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2013 inventory recorded a semicircular limestone base for an engaged pillar, measuring 0.16 metres high, 0.105 metres wide at the top and 0.17 metres wide at the base, incorporated into the north porch wall of the Roman Catholic church in Golden. Its mouldings suggested a fifteenth-century date and a probable origin at Athassel Abbey, about 2 kilometres south, although the medieval church 100 metres west was another possibility.

Incorporated into the N wall of the porch of the RC church in Golden N of the main street. A semi-circular base for a limestone engaged pillar (H 0.16m; Wth at top 0.105m; Wth at base 0.17m). The mouldings suggest a 15th-century date for this fragment, the original provenance of which is unknown. It could have come from the medieval church (TS060-097004-) c. 100m to the W but it is very similar to pillar bases at Athassel Abbey, c. 2km to the S and probably came from there.
