Stone head in Macetown (skreen By.)

Three carved stone heads built into a wall. May originally have come from nearby church (ME032-044----) (Hickey 1984, 112-13).

Date likely to the early medieval period, possibly Christian in origin, given their possible association with a church. The stone heads may have had a symbolic or commemorative function, though their specific meaning or folklore remains unrecorded.
