Architectural fragment in An Daingean

In a shopfront on the E side of Green St. are two plaques (KE043-224033-, KE043-224034-). This record is for the upper stone only a circular section of which is exposed. It bears a hexagonal motif executed in raised interlace. See attached photograph taken from Bradley 1987, Fig. 26 Architectural fragments described in the Urban Survey of Kerry (Bradley 1987, 65) as follows; Two houses in Green Street have wall plaques which may be of seventeenth century date. (1) The gable of 'Gifts' has two plaques. The upper stone is circular (diam. 22 cm) with an interlaced design of six loops in relief; the lower one is square and has a pair of opposed birds on a perch within a raised border (H. 22 W.22). (2) On a house opposite Gifts' and adjacent to ' Hands Accomodation' is a plaque with a large bird holding a smaller bird in its claw, and a third bird flying above. An M and three dots are placed above the design (H. 42 W. 42 cm)'. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage et al., 'Archaeological Survey of the Dingle Peninsula.'
