Ireland’s Enigmatic Stone Faces
Hidden within Caldragh Cemetery, the mysterious Boa Island Figure offers a fascinating glimpse into Ireland’s ancient past. The larger Dreenan Figure, often called the Janus figure, features two faces carved back-to-back and is one of Ireland’s most enigmatic stone sculptures. Nearby stands the smaller Lustymore Figure, originally found on neighbouring Lustymore Island before being moved to Caldragh Cemetery.
Their exact age and meaning remain debated, with interpretations ranging from pre-Christian deities to early medieval figures. Surrounded by the tranquil landscape of Lower Lough Erne, these remarkable carvings make Caldragh Cemetery a fascinating destination for visitors interested in archaeology, history and local heritage.
