What is recorded here

Near Corcormick church (LE016-016001-) is a stone from a doorway (dims. 0.52m x 0.34m; H 0.2m) with a chamfer at one corner. The engraving of a wingless griffin is in false relief on the underside. The griffin is a mythical beast known from ancient Greece, and is usually described as an animal with a lion’s body and the head and wings of an eagle (Ruickbie 2016, 79-80). The Cormormick beast has an animal’s body and a bird’s head, but lack’s wings and is eating its own tail. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of amended upload: 24 June, 2019
