Architectural fragment

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.
