The National Monuments Service's description
There is a record of a stone head carved in false relief on a stone that was built over a doorway on the W side of Barrack Lane, which was thought to have come from a church (OSFM). It survived in this position until the gateway was taken down c. 1980 when it was moved for safekeeping to a house off Wexford Street where it is now displayed (WX029-044----) at the roadside.
