The National Monuments Service's description
This apparently late medieval head is believed to have been taken from Trinity Island (CV020-077001-) (local information) and is now lying up against the NW wall of a modern dwelling-house. It has slightly bulging eyes, prominent ears, a partly chipped nose and smiling mouth. The chin has been broken off. The head is crowned with a plain band with foliate tips.
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.
