A finely carved head reputedly that of a local man called 'Stoney Brennan'. Below the head is a plaque bearing the legend 'Stoney Brennan / In sweet rememberance / of his curative powers / to his many friends / in old Loughrea.' On a modern explanatory plaque the following is recorded: 'In the mid-nineteenth century, Stephen (Stoney) Brennan was hanged in Loughrea, reputedly for stealing a turnip.' The head was re-erected in its present location in 2013.
