Stone sculpture in Kilvoydan

Stone sculpture

What is recorded here

Kilvoydan is no longer visible in County Clare. The stone church has surrendered its shape to rain and time, leaving only a carved jambstone to testify that people stood together in that place. The building is gone, but the cut stone still exists elsewhere. Memory has moved the church into a single surviving fragment.
Not listed in the SMR (1992) or the RMP (1996). This record is for the original location of a carved jambstone from Kilvoydan church. For present location and description see CL017-116004-. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 23 September 2014
Probably medieval in date, the carved jambstone may have originally formed part of a church doorway, reflecting early Christian artistic traditions in the region. Its present location is unknown, but such stones often feature symbolic or decorative carvings linked to religious or communal identity.

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