Aghanaglack Dual Tomb
Caldragh Idol An
early, possibly one of
the oldest extant
examples of Irish
figure sculpture,
standing forlornly in
the gloom of an old
burial ground near the
south-west shore of
Boa Island in Lower
Lough Erne. It depicts
two dwarfish figures
gazing in opposite
directions
Enniskillen Town Hall, Enniskillen,
Co Fermanagh Take time out to view
the architectual style of this
building,
renaissance, freely interpreted. The
general facade and most of the tower are
faced with finely punched Carrickareagh
dark limestone, forming a pleasing
contrast with the rich cream Dungannon
sandstone of the columns, cornices, and
the statues which ornament the building.
