Small sandstone carved head (H 0.2m; Wth 0.18m) with almond-shaped eyes, pointed angular nose and slit mouth which has been incorporated into a concrete block boundary wall of a modern bungalow. This head is locally believed to have come from the medieval church (OF039-055----) at Roscomroe (pers. comm. Paddy Murray).
