Stone sculpture in Killeigh

Stone sculpture

What is recorded here

The Church of Ireland church (OF025-017001-) houses a boldly sculpted angel holding a shield, the sinister side of which is impaled with a double fleur-de-lis (Fitzpatrick and O'Brien 1998, 97). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
Likely dating to the early medieval period, the stone sculpture may reflect Christian iconography associated with ecclesiastical sites. The double fleur-de-lis and shield suggest a connection to local saints or symbolic protection, though specific folklore or dedications remain unrecorded.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
