The National Monuments Service's description

Situated within its own burgage plot. All that survives is the S gable wall and a fragment of its front. A brass plaque is attached to it stating that it dates to the sixteenth century. A human head, carved in a late Medieval style is positioned on the outside face of the S gable and is believed to have originated in the Dominican Friary (LH005-042013-). (Bradley and King 1985, 39)
