"STONE HEAD"

Width: 13.8cm
Thickness: 14cm
Height: 19.5cm

A stone head with a bulbous head with oval eyes in false relief, slit mouth and vaguely defined mouth in low relief. Oval face with narrow, rounded damaged chin and C-shaped ears in low relief. A small socket at the base is now blocked. This head may have belonged to an effigial tomb, possibly from St. Sinnell's Church on Cleenish. The small shallow socket at the base of the head may have been used to attach it to the body of a recumbent effigy. The tomb, of which it may have formed a part, may now be underneath the military barracks at Enniskillen where so many stones from Cleenish were dumped at the end of the 18th century.
