The rugged face in the shape of a man with a moustache is formed near a peat moss in Dervock, County Antrim.

Barry recalls his father cutting turf in the area and was having a look around using google earth when he uncovered the unusual character.

“I wonder has someone been artistic when planting out ?”

Uploading the images to Facebook, Barry has had a warm reception from locals and nearly everyone commenting can see the resemblance.

He said: “I’ve looked at it a few times and keep seeing a face of an old man with a moustache and i wonder who else can see it?.”
