Both were originally Janus-faced. The simpler figure is heavier damaged. It was located on the neighboring island of Lusty More Iceland and although her ​​gender is uncertain, it is usually referred to as " Lustry Man". The second, bearded figure sitting on one side with arms crossed, on the other, with crossed legs and ithyphallic there. It should be a Celtic cernunnosartigen vegetation and fertility god.

Still archaic is the Tande Ragee idol. It was found near Newry in a swamp and is now on the south aisle of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh.
