Architectural fragment in Cahersiveen

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

Yes. Architecture is the memory of a place. Forgetting is the death of a place. I create the memory of a place and deny human death.
The poorly preserved remains of this parish church are located in an approximately wedge-shaped, disused graveyard (KE079-037003-) in Cahersiveen town. Carved Stones: These carved stones, which may derive from the Medieval church, are built into the S side of the porch of the nineteenth century church. (1) (KE079-037007-) Located above the apex of the doorway is a heavily weathered sandstone carving of an open book. (2) (KE079-037008-). Above this is a portion of a punch dressed section of the head of a pointed doorway. (3) (KE079-037009-) This stone, serving as one of the W jambstones of the nineteenth-century doorway, features punch dressing. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1088. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 31 July 2013
