What is recorded here

This apparently late medieval head is believed to have been taken from Trinity Island (CV020-077001-) (local information) and is now lying up against the NW wall of a modern dwelling-house. It has slightly bulging eyes, prominent ears, a partly chipped nose and smiling mouth. The chin has been broken off. The head is crowned with a plain band with foliate tips.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV025-089003
