| BALLYJAMESDUFF , eleven miles south of Cavan town, just off the N3,
is the location for the new Cavan County Museum (Tues-Sat 10am-5pm, plus
June-Sept Sun 2-6pm; £2/¬2.54). The small collection includes replicas
of Celtic stone idols dating from the second century BC to the second
century AD. Among the exhibits from the medieval period there's the
Lough Errol dugout boat (900 AD) and a couple of impressive Sheila na
Gigs. Surprisingly, the history of Cavan's emigrants yields Sioux
girdles and headdresses, and there's extensive coverage of the GAA
footballing history of the county. |
