@DiscProg @Europeanaeu @HeritageHubIRE @NationalMons That’s Sally-Anne Fisher on the RHS. If I’m not mistaken, she is wearing her Bang on the Wall T shirt entitled ’If they can get one man on the moon, why not send all of them’. Claire Scally is behind Aidan, Dave O’Connor is behind Sally-Anne.

@cmount1 Can you see Queen Matilda’s tomb

[Edmond O'Donovan @donovandigs]

@AidanOSulliva15 That’s a pain Aidan, stay well

[Edmond O'Donovan @donovandigs]

@irarchaeology @AveDeFaoite I wonder if the building adjoining the tower might have been contemporary or late medieval. The masonry where the pitched gable adjoined the castle looks quite fine.

@Stephkwoods Granite window frame with glazing bar reused as a font or font reused as a moulded window fragment dating from the medieval period, St Mary's Abbey in Dublin

@SarahkateMurph3 Wordwell Press

[Edmond O'Donovan @donovandigs]

@PDufaigh @Stephkwoods Looks like it being used (reused) as a Holy water font, what is the name of the church or site where its located?
