BALLYJAMESDUFF , eleven miles south of Cavan town, just off the N3, is the location for the new Cavan County Museum (Tues-Sat 10am-5pm, plus June-Sept Sun 2-6pm; GBP2/?2.54). The small collection includes replicas of Celtic stone idols dating from the second century BC to the second century AD. Among the exhibits from the medieval period there's the Lough Errol dugout boat (900 AD) and a couple of impressive Sheila na Gigs. Surprisingly, the history of Cavan's emigrants yields Sioux girdles and headdresses, and there's extensive coverage of the GAA footballing history of the county.
