Associated with a monumental structure (GA125-005004-), which lies in the SW sector of a burial ground (GA125-050001-) and immediately to the E of a holy well (GA125-050002-). On inspection in August 1985, this stone head, which appeared to be of medieval date and a decorative feature associated with a church, was set into the top of the monumental structure, which, according to local information, was the 'tomb' of Edmund Mullen, who built it during the course of his lifetime. A decorated and inscribed slab dedicated to Edmund, dated 1806, noted in the burial ground may originally have been incorporated into it.
On re-inspection in March 2010, the stone head had been removed from the structure and it could not be located in the burial ground. Its current location is unknown.
