Killycluggin Stone

[2] The stone is now housed in the Cavan County Museum, while an imperfect replica stands near the road about 300 metres from the original site.

The 14th century Book of McGovern, written in Magh Slécht, contains a poem which states that Crom was situated at Kilnavert beside the road and that the local women used to tremble in fear as they passed by.

[7] When excavated and placed upright on its flat base, it was found to lean obliquely from the vertical, perhaps explaining the name Crom, "bent, crooked".

[8] The top of the stone[9][10] has a hair-motif which is found on other La Tène sculptures, such as the Celtic hero head from Mšecké Žehrovice in the Czech Republic.

The inference is that the Killycluggin stone was an anthropomorphic figure with a human face, which was the part that was smashed to pieces.

A somewhat misleading replica of the Killycluggin Stone [ further explanation needed ]
A different Celtic stone sculpture, the Mšecké Žehrovice Head which was found in the Czech Republic , is thought to be similar in type to the carved Killycluggin stone before it was damaged.
