What is recorded here

Attached to the external front wall of a derelict farmhouse which is indicated on the 1835 'OS 6-inch' map. A stone carving of a human head in raised relief. The head is long and narrow, with oval bulging eyes and a full beard and is wearing a scalloped headpiece. Believed to have come from Faulkland Castle (MO009-059----) where it was probably used as a corbel. (pers. comm. Shirley Clerkin, Monaghan Heritage Officer).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MO009-077
