What is recorded here

Architectural feature in Kilcoolyabbey is an architectural feature in Kilcoolyabbey, County Tipperary, Ireland. A pointed medieval doorway, measuring 2.04 metres in height and between 0.81 and 0.85 metres in width, is poorly inserted in the north-west wall of a boathouse on the north side of the lake. The boathouse was built in 1789 by Sir William Barker, and the stones likely came from the abbey. The western side of the door head carries two carved ivy leaves that date stylistically to the 15th century.
