What is recorded here

Two carved heads still watch from the west gable of Drumreilly, probably unchanged since the medieval church fell. They are not relics hidden in a museum; they are embedded in the living wall, exposed to rain and sunlight. The bishop and the grotesque mouth-pulling face on the east gable suggest a church that understood both reverence and ridicule. Stone does not forget shape, even when the building around it is forgotten.

Two corbels with carved heads from the medieval church are probably in their original position high on the outer face of the W gable of the present Church of Ireland church of Drumreilly. The carved head of a bishop and a grotesque mouth-pulling carved head are built into the outer face of the E gable. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 6 July, 2017
