What is recorded here

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.
