Nenagh Friary and Town Walls

Linking Nenagh Friary with the Historic Quarter of Nenagh. 

The entrance to Nenagh Friary was recently repaired and it got me thinking again about linking it up with the "Historic Quarter" of the town around Nenagh Castle. 

One suggestion I had is to use the possible route of the town walls as a way to lead people from Nenagh Castle to the Friary following a kerb or cobble stone that would outline the potential footprint of the town wall of the town. 

The route would go south from the Castle to the Friary and then west as per the map below.

The below is an idea of how this kerb could look. 

From Dun Laoighre Rathdown report - Non-habitable Protected Structures

At the Friary there is a green area on which some information boards could be put and I think some kind of "centre-piece" could be installed here as well - perhaps a stone statute like the one below of which something is hinted at in some old records of the Friary.

The OS Letters describe - 'three fragments of a monumental stone, having raised on it the figure of a warrior in armour…composed of limestone' which was located near the NE inner corner. This tombstone is no longer visible."

Or even something carved from wood like a Frianciscan Friar in his robes (or both to tie the towns Norman and Gaelic past).

The town wall "route" would lead people past the Kenyon Street graveyard and railway station area and back into the central core of the town.
