Corraghy Heads

The Corraghy Heads is the name given to two c. 1st century AD stone heads uncovered c. 1855 in the townland of Drumeague, County Cavan, Ireland. The sculpture was originally a two-headed or janus sculpture of a human and ram's head linked by a long cross-piece, but was broken apart in the mid-19th century. The ram's head was lost soon after; the human head survives and is now in the National Museum of Ireland, but is rarely displayed. This human head is unusually naturalistic for the time, having ears, well-defined hair strands, a beard and a large neck.

The same excavation unearthed the contemporary Corleck stone idol; they are sometimes collectively referred to as "the Corleck Gods". Based on their iconography, the two objects are usually dated to the late Iron Age, probably to the 1st or 2nd century AD. Archeologists believe that they once formed part of a larger shrine on Drumeague Hill that was associated with a Celtic head cult, and were later used during the Lughnasadh harvest festivals.
