Architectural fragment

The National Monuments Service's description

Annagh Church and graveyard survey commissioned by Kerry Co. Co. which was carried out in 2008 recorded the following details about a possible broken stoup; 'There were at least twenty six ex-situ architectural fragments noted of which twenty four are currently lying loose on or partially inserted into the partially rebuilt west gable of the medieval church [KE038-003001-] . All of the fragments are dressed structural masonry executed in local red sandstone. Several are quite large and would be difficult to remove, however, others are small and could easily be removed. Several comprise the splayed ingoings of a window embrasure as well as at least one complete sill stone. A broken stoup was also noted partially set within the reduced fabric at the extreme southwest angle of the church (Buckley and Dunne 2008, 9).
