What is recorded here
Knockpatrick holds a medieval quoin carved with a winged angel, likely torn from the Graney nunnery, alongside a tapering granite holy water stoup recovered near Castledermot. These broken pieces preserve devotion long after the buildings vanished, inviting wonder about the nuns who prayed beside them and the hands that shaped stone for rituals now forgotten.
1. Quoin (?) showing winged figure, probably angel. Of medieval appearance, most likely from nunnery at Graney (KD040--015----).
2.Rectangular holy water stoup, with rectangular basin, tapering towards base. Of granite. Found at Dairy lane, St. John's, Castledermot.
