Asset Overview

Romanesque Doorway located at Kilboglashy graveyard (SL020-109002-). The doorway occurs W of the centre in this wall. The surround has two orders composed of blocks of eroded grainy light red sandstone. Both orders have moulded corners and capitals decorated with animal motifs. Springing from the capitals of the outer order is a semicircular arch with eleven voussoirs, each ornamented with a worn face in bold relief, with a plain chamfered hood-moulding. Two similar heads occur on either side of the doorway. The space under the arch is filled with random dark-red sandstone rubble and the doorway is lintelled -The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005) 8 January 2008
