What is recorded here

Architectural fragments from St Dabnet's church (CV026-022001-) have been erected in its vicinity and serve as stations. Included are two stone heads recorded by Davies (1948, 111-2). The first is quite eroded and may originally have functioned as a window finial projecting 0.15m from the wall. It now lies on its side embedded in concrete and is used as a kneeling stone. The second head was formerly the finial of a gable-coping. It is very worn, but nose, eyes and a solid mass of hair are still distinguishable. Davies (ibid.) suggested a 15th-century date for both heads.
