The National Monuments Service's description
This record was formerly classed as a 'stone sculpture' in both the SMR (1988) and the RMP (1998). However, this record covers two stone sculptures which, according to the index card for this record, are located in the farm buildings at Milltown Castle (CO007-036001-). These 'stone sculptures' are referred to in the The 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork - vol. 4 North Cork' (2000, 657) under the entry (no. 14917) for a country house (CO007-036001-). The reference in the entry reads: 'two niches contain busts similar to those [see CO007-037002-] at lodge'. The sculptures at the lodge are 'dressed in late 17th-century style'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
