What is recorded here

Four cloister pillars from the medieval Dominican friary still stand buried inside a rockery in the modern church garden at Tralee. Their moulded edges catch rain and shadow while the rest of the friary has vanished. The church treats them as decoration rather than evidence, forcing visitors to imagine the lost walkway through the shape of a broken room.

This record is for a cloister pillar (one of 4) which is built into a rockery in the garden of the modern Dominican church in Tralee. It has moulded edge shafts. It is presumably from the medieval Dominican friary (KE029-236001-). The above description is derived from Bradley, J., et al. 1987 Urban Archaeology Survey Part XIV County Kerry. Unpublished report.
