Lovely to see this stone. Is it known how much of the carving was original (4500 years old?) and how much was done in more recent times (Roman era?)

Its thought that the face and the 'cape' she may be wearing were amended in the Roman era. The stone was moved away from the church which is very unfair considering she was there first! I recently found a reference to a bullaun at her feet but I can't find any sign of one. This might suggest a Celtic link?
