Two stone heads located in the garage beside the presbytery to the S of Firies Church. Stone head described by McDonnell (1965, 190) as a carved head of mitred bishop. According to O'Donovan (OSL, 1841, 200), the bishop's head occurred over the door arch (Stone no. 2), he also noted 'another head with an old fashioned wig' (Stone no. 1 KE048-028001-) over window in S wall.
