What is recorded here

On flat low-lying ground beside a high wall at the entrance to Cregaun housing estate, c. 50m W of the public road. A limestone glacial erratic (c. 4m x 3m, H 2.5-3m) with an inscribed face on the lower SE side. The top half of the face is broken off. On inspection in 2000 the broken part lay on the ground nearby. The face had very large ears, a narrow straight nose and pointed eyes. Rynne (1985, 79) cites parallels with carvings dating to the Romanesque and Transitional periods. A small mound (CL033-177----) was noted very close to the erratic in 1996 during clearance in advance of construction of Cregaun estate and a small hut site (CL033-176----) was also noted nearby.
