Trinity Church, Glendalough (turntable movie)
WI023-014001-
Situated on a largely natural platform on a S-facing slope overlooking the level floor of the Glendasan river some 300m E of the main monastic complex. The remains comprise Trinity church, a cross-slab and two millstone rough-outs (WI023-014003-, WI023-014004-). The church consists of a nave (dims. 9m E-W; 5.4m N-S) and chancel (dims. 4.1m E-W; 2.8m N-S) with a fine granite chancel arch. The W wall has a door with inclined jambs and lintel leading to a later annexe (dims. 3.14m E-W; 2.84m N-S), possibly a sacristy, which had a corbelled roof and a round tower or belfry (destroyed during a storm in 1818). A round-headed door was inserted towards the W end of the S wall when the annexe was built. The chancel is lit by a round-headed window in the E wall and a pointed window in the S while the nave has a single round-headed window in the S wall. Six projecting corbels can be seen on the exterior of the walls which would have supported the roof. The cross-slab is situated outside the S door and is a large trapezoidal slab (dims. 1.48m x 0.5m x 0.18m) with a small single-line incised Greek cross. (O'Flanagan 1928, 162-4; Leask 1950, 32-4; Healy 1972, 22-3, 88-9)
