Boa Island
Boa Island is an island near the north shore of Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is from Enniskillen town. It is the largest island in Lough Erne, approximately long, and relatively narrow. The A47 road goes through the length of the island and joins each end of the island to the mainland by bridges leading west toward Castle Caldwell and east toward Kesh.
Boa Island features a counterscarp rath as well as carved stones, graveyard and enclosure, all in Dreenan townland and all Scheduled Historic Monuments.
The two sided Lustymore stone figure was moved here in 1939 from the nearby island of the same name. It and the similar Dreenan figure are collectively known as the archaeological significant Boa Island figures. Both are thought to date from the 1st century AD. The oldest stone monument on the island is a denuded cairn at Inishkeeragh Bridge near the southern tip of the island.
Stone figures
The Boa Island figures are two stone statues in the island's Caldragh graveyard. They are assumed to date from the Irish Iron Age period and consist of two anthropomorphic carved stone statues known as the Dreenan and Lustymore figures.Both figures were badly damaged when found. They are today placed beside each other on unrelated pillars in the graveyard, which is the original location of the Boa figure. A canopy was placed over them to protect them from the weather, however this has since been removed. Both of the stone figures are generally accepted to be the likeness of pagan deities. The graveyard itself dates from the Irish early Christian period.
