What is recorded here
That is a chamfered door jamb from the medieval Dominican friary, now buried in a rockery beside the modern church in Tralee. It stands fifty-nine centimetres tall, eighty-eight millimetres wide and two hundred and eighty millimetres deep, small enough to touch but old enough to have watched the friary fall. A monk may have passed that edge every day, marking the limit between sacred rooms and ordinary streets. The church moved, the friary vanished, and the jamb became garden decoration, yet the chamfer still cuts the air like a forgotten doorway.
This record is for a chamfered door jamb (H 0.59m; Wth 0.18m; T 0.28m) which is built into a rockery in the garden of the modern Dominican church in Tralee. It is presumably from the medieval Dominican friary (KE029-236001-).
