What is recorded here
Annaduff holds two carved heads on corbels at its roof line, watching the empty church from opposite corners. They may have marked a doorway, a shelf or a forgotten ritual, but they still face outward as if waiting for people who stopped coming. The medieval parish church has lost most of itself, yet those faces remain sharp enough to imagine the hands that shaped them.
The remains of the medieval parish church of Annaduff (LE032-054001-) has two corbels with carved heads at roof level at the SE and SW angles but there are no loose architectural fragments. (McParlan 1802, 100-1; Lewis 1837 vol. 1, 28).
