Four limestone statues which were stolen from Charleville in Co Cork in 2011 have been found.

The statues were taken from Milltown Castle on July 18th, 2011.

Two are statues of eagles mounted on 10ft high pillars, and the others are life size busts of William of Orange and Oliver Cromwell.

An extensive Garda investigation was carried out at the time the property disappeared.

Discovery

On Friday, a member of the public found all four statues near a derelict outhouse on lands near Cratloe, Co. Clare.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone with any information about the theft to get in touch with Mallow Garda Station on 022 31450.
