Caption

A carved stone head of slightly grotesque appearance with round bulbous eyes, wide open mouth and a beard of closely spaced incised lines. After the water level of Keenaghan Lough had been lowered in 1971, this head was found in the lake close to the south-east shore. This is immediately north of the ruined medieval church of Tievealough.
