Janus God marking grave in Caldraugh Cemetery, Boa Island  Janus God marking grave in Caldraugh Cemetery, Boa Island East & West faces of the large Janus god.

This Janus figure is placed so that it faces due east and west.  The sun rises and sets directly over the figure at the vernal equinox.  Some say the figure is over 1000 years old.  The Janus is the "all seeing god" that sees everything from the rising to the setting of the sun.
