What is recorded here

Architectural fragment in Emly is an architectural fragment in Emly, County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2014 inventory recorded this decorated capital incorporated in the south face of the north churchyard wall near the church's east gable. One of three carved-head fragments from the former cathedral, it depicts a bishop wearing a mitre and robe collar, with pinned-back ears, a fluted south face and badly eroded facial features. The account suggested it came from a window, perhaps as a stop or a feature at the window apex.

Incorporated in the S face of the N boundary wall of the yard of the RC church near the E gable of the church. One of three decorated captials with carved heads (also TS065-013009- and TS065-013011-) from the former cathedral (TS065-013002-). The architectural fragment is decorated with the head of a bishop, wearing a mitre, and the collar of a robe is also visible. The ears are pinned back and the S face of the stone is fluted. The facial features are badly eroded. Possibly a fragment from a window of the destroyed cathedral, it may have acted as a window stop or as a feature at the apex of a window.
