Boa Island is an island near the north shore of Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland [1]. Boa Island features a counterscarp rath as well as carved stones, graveyard and enclosure, all in Dreenan townland and all Scheduled Historic Monuments [1]. The two sided Lustymore stone figure was moved here in 1939 from the nearby island of the same name [1]. The Boa Island figures are two stone statues in the island's Caldragh graveyard [1]. Both figures were badly damaged when found [1]. Both of the stone figures are generally accepted to be the likeness of pagan deities [1].
