Description
Watercolour of a fine 12th century stone carved Romanesque doorway in Ullard near Graiguenamanagh Co. Kilkenny Ireland
This impressive entrance to the ruins of a church utilises a series of chevron and dot designs as decorative motifs and several carved human heads. the doorway thankfully retains most of its original Romanesque character.
Near the church lies a 9th century high cross that is related to an earlier monastery on the site which was founded by Saint Fiachra in the 7th century AD.
Locally ther door is known as St.Fiachras doorway.
