The above picture shows the shrine from Knockbride with the supposed head of Brigit (wearing a torc) at the top, the Corleck head directly beneath her and the ram's head, the bearded head, the one-eyed head and the horse beneath that. Only the Corleck head and the bearded head have survived; both are now in the National Museum in Dublin. I am indebted to Eugene Markey of the County Museum, Ballyjamesduff, Co. Cavan for the information, the book 'Knockbride: A History' and the picture.
