The National Monuments Service's description
Not listed in the SMR (1992) or the RMP (1995). This record is for a stone corbel with carved head at the Burren Centre, Kilfenora, originally from Killilagh graveyard (CL008-063002-). It was published in detail by Étienne Rynne (1976, 76-8) who, among others, endeavoured to have the stone returned to Clare having been stolen. He describes it as a full cleric’s head with biretta, in limestone, projecting from a large stone block. (Rynne 1976, 76-8)
