This architectural fragment came to light during recent cable-laying in the vicinity of Cloonacauneen Castle (GA082-029----). It was moved to its present location for safe-keeping. The fragment consists of a curving chamfered block of stone (max. L 0.82m; max. Wth 0.24m; T 0.24m). Its face is lightly hammer dressed. The base of the stone is squared-off but the top of it is very irregular due to damage. The inward edge is smooth. The shape and form of the stone suggest that it was part of the upper right-hand side of a doorway and that it is most likely from, or associated with, the castle.
