Can anyone point me in the direction of some good information on these? Not the Marvel comic please! OUr archaeology groups has been asked about one in a local church but they are pre Christian, are they Bronze or Iron Age in origin?

Hi Suerica and welcome.
Searching for a slightly different spelling, Tricephalus, turned up a couple of images which may provide a starting-point.

Is the image female? In which case I'd suggest researching goddesses with triple aspects like Hecate, The Morrigan etc.
