What is recorded here

Two stone heads wait in a Killahane garage beside the presbytery, their limestone faces caught between church, memory and forgetting. One head wears hair like a deliberate wig, combed diagonally from a central parting, waving above the forehead and curling out over the ears. They may have stood somewhere brighter before becoming fragments, but even in a garage they keep shaping the place, pressing human imagination against dead stone.

Two stone heads located in the garage beside the presbytery to the S of Firies Church. Stone Head described by Harbison (1973, 14) as the 'hair sits high on the head - almost like a wig - and is combed diagonally outwards from a central parting, and then rolls itself into a slight wave above the forehead and out into a large curled-up crop which projects well out over and above the ears'. This carving is on one face of a carved limestone block (H 31cm; 52cm x 32cm = the width of the carved head no. 1). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 20 May 2022
