What is recorded here

A damaged limestone stoup (diam. c. 0.35m) with a carved head on one side (Siggins 1990, 46-7), which probably came from Rahara church (RO045-077001-) c. 1km to S, but which had been kept at Toberlargan holy well (RO045-075001-), is now in the Roscommon County Museum. The head is one of an original three that would have represented the Holy Trinity (Siggins 2016).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record RO039-043029
