GA104-148009- Carved Head

[Source](https://maps.archaeology.ie/historicenvironment/?SMRS=GA104-148009-) In Killogilleen graveyard. The stone stands c. 7.5m WSW of the church and is described by Chapple (2005) 'It is carved from a single block of limestone, measuring 0.29m wide, by 0.23m thick. At the front it protrudes 0.30m above the present ground surface, falling off to 0.42m at the back, where the ground surface is lower, beneath the recumbent slab. Although the stone is roughly square in section, the upper surface is in the form of a half cylinder, giving the front and back elevations of the figure a rounded, almost 'barrel-vaulted' appearance. As no distinct chisel marks etc. appear on this curved upper surface of the head, it is impossible to state whether a naturally shaped stone was chosen for the purpose, or whether the rounded surface was artificially wrought. Nonetheless, the sides of the stone appear to have been roughly dressed, though the visible portion of the back seems to be a naturally flat, un-worked surface. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
