What is recorded here

Built into a wall at the E end of Coolatore House (b. c. 1866, NIAH). A stone head (WM031-007----) was recovered from the garden and is situated on the S terrace of the house. An architectural fragment (WM031-007002-) and a sheela-na-gig (WM031-007003-/WM024-123001-) are reputed to have been situated at the house, although these are currently unlocated. According to local information, Col. Upton was the former owner of the house and a well-known antiquarian. He had a large collection of medieval carved stones and graveslabs which he had collected during the early part of the 20th century. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
