What is recorded here
Two stone heads are built into the N gable of a row of cottages just S of the bridge at Trim. They are probably carved on decorated corbels from the Franciscan friary (ME036-048025-), which was in the vicinity. This is a large, eroded stone head of limestone, and no features are distinguishable now.
