The National Monuments Service's description
Davies (1948, 100) recorded a grotesque male head (now in National Museum) which is believed to have come from Trinity Abbey (CV020-077001-). The head has bulging eyes, one of which appears to be closed, a long prominent nose, wrinkles on both cheeks and hair on top.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
