Stoup (present location)

What is recorded here

The cuboid-shaped stone stoup (L 0.2m; Wth 0.15m; T 0.12m) was in the larger oratory (KE104A001039-) on Sceilg Mhichíl (Foley 1903, 18) but is now in the care of the OPW (National Monuments Depot, Killarney). It has a circular bowl-shaped hollow (diam. 11.5cm; D 6cm) on its upper surface and on one of its sides is carved a stylized angel surmounted by an equal-armed cross. Lavelle (1976, 16) notes that this stoup is considered to be late 17th/early 18th century in date and that its presence on Sceilg Mhichíl 'is not clearly understood'.
