  Description

  In the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD005). A rectangular sandstone block (L 0.74m; Wth 0.35m; D 0.12m) which has been broken in half, the back is missing.

• KK019-026387 Cross - High cross (present location)
  Description

  Originally from the early medieval monastery at Monaincha (TN018-001010-), Co. Tipperary. Currently in the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD023). Described by Harbison (1992, vol. 1, 139 (Cat. No. 173); vol. 2 fig. 471) as, 'the fragment of a head from a possible high cross that was stored in the National Museum of Ireland and which he described from a photograph taken by the Museum as a thin cross fragment from Monaincha, which represents the top of the head of a cross, together with a small fragment of the ring. The head has two raised mouldings indicating the outline of a cross within the head, while the broad ring has a raised undecorated panel. The other side is undecorated except for a grooved line. The fragment is said to have been brought back to Monaincha from the Museum, but there is no trace of it there now'. This sandstone fragment (H 0.28m; Wth 0.23m; T 0.045m) is only decorated on one surface. The arm of the cross is 0.22m high and the ring is 0.12m wide.

Possibly from a high cross. See attached photograph: KK019-026392-_01 (photograph by Chris Corlett) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 January 2023

• KK019-026393 Tomb - chest tomb (present location)
  Description

  Originally from Athassel Abbey (TS068-013----), Co. Tipperary. Currently in the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD029). One of five fragments of this chest tomb which are stored in the Kilkenny Depot (see also KK019-026383-; KK019-026394-; KK019-026395- and KK019-026396-), though three of the pieces consist of two or more pieces which have been glued together. Two broken pieces (total dims. L 0.56m; H 0.378m; T 0.165) of a side panel, composed on Dundry stone, which have been glued together. The lower portion of two niches, with a knight in each niche, carved in false relief. The knight (lower portion survives) in the dexter niche is better preserved, wearing a tunic, one knee exposed and the other covered, with a sword gripped in his left hand. He is standing on a rock. Only the right foot resting on a rock survives of the other knight. Another fragment (KK019-026394-), an end piece, appears to fit neatly onto the dexter side. The tomb pieces indicate that the Athassel chest tomb, of which one side panel is on display in the Vicars Choral (see TS061-025005-), at the Rock of Cashel, Co. Tipperary, was a free-standing structure (Manning 2005, 133). Dated by Hunt (1974, vol. 1, 219-20) and Manning (2005, 134) to the late 13th/early 14th century.

• KK019-026394 Tomb - chest tomb (present location)
  Description

  Originally from Athassel Abbey (TS068-013----), Co. Tipperary. Currently in the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD030). One of five fragments of this chest tomb which are stored in the Kilkenny Depot (see also KK019-026383-; KK019-026393-; KK019-026395- and KK019-026396-), though three of the pieces consist of two or more pieces which have been glued together. An end piece (Wth 0.19m; H 0.18m; T 0.124m) of a side panel, composed on Dundry stone, with the lower angle of a niche defined by columns, terminated by a flat pilaster. A smaller piece of the pilaster had broken away and has been glued. This piece seems to fit neatly onto the dexter side of the fragment with the two knights (KK019-026393-) and there are indications that it was previously glued to it. The depth of this piece is less than that of the main block to which it appears to fit, however, this appears to be deliberate and not the result of breakage or spalling. The tomb pieces indicate that the Athassel chest tomb, of which one side panel is on display in the Vicars Choral (see TS061-025005-), at the Rock of Cashel, Co. Tipperary, was a free-standing structure (Manning 2005, 133). Dated by Hunt (1974, vol. 1, 219-20) and Manning (2005, 134) to the late 13th/early 14th century.

  Description

  Originally from Athassel Abbey (TS068-013----), Co. Tipperary. Currently in the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD032). One of five fragments of this chest tomb which are stored in the Kilkenny Depot (see also KK019-026383-; KK019-026393-; KK019-026394- and KK019-026395-), though three of the pieces consist of two or more pieces which have been glued together. The lower part of an end panel (L 0.577m; H 0.28m; T 0.178m), composed on Dundry stone, with a crucifixion flanked by Our Lady and St John. The panel had been broken in half vertically down the centre and has been glued together. The sides of the panel are dressed with diagonal tooling, while the base of the panel is roughly dressed. The central figure of the Crucified Christ is badly spalled. Only the feet survive, with the right foot over the left, there are traces of red paint on the toes. The cross-shaft continues to the base of the niche, with no treatment to the base. Though the head and upper dexter side is missing, the figure to the right of the Crucifix, Our Lady, is wearing a full-length garment, with the folds gathered in her right hand. The figure to the left of the Crucifix, St John, is very badly spalled, only the outline of the garment remains, though the bare feet, which are standing on a rock, are very well preserved. The niche is framed on either side by three engaged columns resting on moulded bases. The tomb pieces indicate that the Athassel chest tomb, of which one side panel is on display in the Vicars Choral (see TS061-025005-), at the Rock of Cashel, Co.

• KK019-026398 Ogham stone (present location)
  Description

  Possibly originally from Moone Abbey (KD036-031001-), Co. Kildare. Currently in the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD034). Fragment of an ogham stone (Wth 0.252m; T 0.11m), with two smooth stone faces (surviving Wth 0.144m and 0.13m respectively) on either side of a well-defined obtuse angle. Most of the inscription is missing and the portion that remains occupies one end of the stone. Part of the inscription, consisting of 3 strokes, continues across the angle, with the 4 parallel lines below that only running up to the angle. Likely to have been uncovered during the archaeological excavations at Moone Abbey carried out by Miriam Clyne in 1998 and 1999 under excavation license number 98E0276. The excavations, funded by Dúchas The Heritage Service, were carried out in advance of conservation, from 22 June to 7 August 1998, with a second ten week season in 1999. The site is the early medieval monastery reputedly founded by St Colmcille in the 6th century. The eastern end of the church was confirmed to be early medieval, probably dating to the 10th or 11th centuries.

• KK019-026403 Graveslab (present location)
  Description

  Originally from the chancel of the medieval church (KD036-031008-) at Moone, Co. Kildare. Currently in the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD040). One of two of the pieces of this limestone graveslab stored in the depot (other KD041). The graveslab is described in the Journal of the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead of Ireland, ‘lying in a broken state on the north side of the ruined abbey’ of Moone and a transcription of the inscription is provided (1892, vol. 1, 1888-91, 192). In the early 1890s the broken fragments of the “Brine” slab were pierced tougher and laid, ‘in cement on a firm foundation of masonry-work’. The graveslab is described in 1986 by Bradley et al. (1986, vol. 4, 337-8) has been broken into three pieces. This piece is from the upper dexter side of the graveslab (L 0.67m; max. Wth 0.57m; T 0.145-0.155m). It is inscribed in English, in false relief in Roman capitals, in horizontal rows. There is a thin (Wth 0.015m) plain vertical margin along the dexter edge. The second piece (KK019-026404-) of the graveslab (L 0.995m; Wth 0.65m; T 0.13m) consists of the lower portion with straight sides and the base of the slab relatively intact, the lower dexter angle is broken and a chip off the lower sinister angle. This provides the complete width of the slab which is 0.65m and indicates that it was originally at least 1.665m long. When at its original location in Moone church the inscription was transcribed (Journal of the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead of Ireland, vol. 1, 1888-91, 192-3). The upper portion reads as follows, the letters in brackets are on the missing portion of the slab: EDMOND B[RINE] [AN] D JOHANNY [….] N HIS WIFE CA[USE] D THIS [M]ONVM[EN] T TO BE MAD[E] [IN] REMBRANCE O[F] [HI] S PARENTS D[ERM] OT BRINE AND [MORE] [C] VLLON W[HO] [D] EASE[D] A.

• KK019-026406 Tomb - chest tomb (present location)
  Description

  Originally from the medieval parish church (KK026-010012-) of St Mary's, Callan. Currently in the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD043). Approximately two-thirds of an incomplete limestone side panel (L 1.04m; H 0.6m; T 0.175m) of a chest tomb, the dexter end is missing. A plain margin (H 0.045-0.05m) runs along the top and base of the panel. It is decorated in false relief with symbols of the crucifixion on either side of a now central scourging pillar entwined with two ropes. On the dexter side there is a large cross which is ringed with a crown of thorns and which rests on a skull. At the base dexter side of which there are three nails and immediately above there is a pincers, most of which is broken off. On the sinister side of the cross there is a lantern and below this Peter’s sword with the ear of Malchus, the servant of the high priest, shown on the blade. On the sinister side of the scourging pillar there is a bunch of twigs and a pillar which rises from lower margin and continues to the top. To the sinister of the pillar there is a cock on a pot with scourges on either side, below which there is a seamless robe with three dice on one side and a draw-string purse on the other. Below the robe are two rows of coins making up 30 pieces of silver. There is a bad, almost vertical, crack running on the dexter side of the scourging pillar, with another crack running from this across the arms of the cross. According to Phelan (1996, 174) the slab was moved from Callan to the OPW Kilkenny Depot c. 1993. In style it is similar to the Comerford chest tomb (KK026-010037-) in St. Mary’s church, Callan, dated 1604 and attributed to the O’Kerin workshop. This intact tomb panel is divided into four sections, each separated by a pillar which is very similar to that on the panel in the depot and also shows a similar treatment in the carvings of some of the symbols of the crucifixion.

• KK019-026412 Graveslab (present location)
  Description

  From Jerpoint Abbey (KK028-062005-) Cistercian monastery, Co. Kilkenny. Currently in the OPW store, Kilkenny (Kilkenny depot stone carving number: KD049). A tapering rectangular limestone slab (L 1.14m; max. Wth 0.63m; min. Wth 0.58m; T 0.18m). Normally the wider portion of a graveslab is decorated with a cross-head with the cross-base at the narrower portion. This graveslab is incomplete, the narrower end is missing and it is not decorated with a conventional cross, however, for this description the wider end is assumed to be the top. The slab is decorated with a raised central shaft which terminates with a narrow pointed triangle at the wider end of the slab. Before the break in the slab there is a knop on the shaft, with a raised band projecting from it at a 50° angle, continuing to the dexter edge of the slab and extending along the edge, but terminating some distance from the top. There is a very shallow chamfer (Wth 0.075m) along both edges and along the top. The decoration may represent an object associated with a particular craft or profession. There is no indication of an inscription. See attached photograph: KK019-026412-_01 (photograph by Chris Corlett) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 30 January 2023

• KK019-137 Architectural feature
  Description

  From Ahgowle, Co. Wicklow (WI042-019028-), currently in the Hebron Industrial Estate on the outskirts of Kilkenny City. It is c. 1m long and has been dressed to a cylindrical shape with what looks like an undressed knob-like terminal. Although considered as a possible phallic symbol (correctly doubted by Malone 1988, 124) this is a jostle stone or stop-bollard, one of a pair that would have been used on either side of a gateway to protect both jambs and carriage wheels from damage. The knob-like undressed end would have acted as the anchor in the ground. It probably dates to the 18th/19th century. The stone had formerly leant against the N wall of the church (WA042-019001-) and was missing for a number of years until returned to the site in 2014. The stone is in the care of the Office of Public Works. WI042-019028-_01.jpg: Photo of the jostle stone at Ahghowle church (taken 17 July 2014).
