Architectural fragment in Tralee

Architectural fragment

What is recorded here

That is the smallest honest clue the area still holds: a window jamb with a glazing groove, no larger than a bread loaf, buried in a rockery beside a modern Dominican church in Tralee. It may have belonged to the medieval Dominican friary, which would mean light once entered a room where prayer, argument or silence happened before the present building rose. The stone does not claim much, but it refuses to disappear entirely.
This record is for a window jamb with glazing groove (H 0.28m; Wth 0.36m; T 0.15m) 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-). The above description is derived from Bradley, J., et al. 1987 Urban Archaeology Survey Part XIV County Kerry. Unpublished report. Office of Public Works. Date of upload: 23 January 2012
