What is recorded here
Favor Royal, Co. Tyrone, holds two carved corbel heads taken from Errigal Trough graveyard in County Monaghan. They travelled across the county line, perhaps snatched during a survey or donated in pride, leaving a hole in the dead chamber and giving a room elsewhere a voice. The heads still protrude like interrupted speakers, catching light and demanding that the listener complete what the carve left unfinished.
Two corbels decorated with carved heads were moved from Errigal Trough graveyard (MO003-018003-) to Favor Royal, Co. Tyrone (ITA Survey 1943).
