The National Monuments Service's description
Two stone heads, slightly larger than life size, possibly male and female, were kept at a farmyard but are now in the National Museum of Ireland. One has a whistle hole, indicating an Iron Age date, while both have had glass pupils inserted. (Roche 1986, 33)
