Stone head in New Ross, County Wexford

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

There is a record of a stone head carved in false relief on a stone that was built over a doorway on the W side of Barrack Lane, which was thought to have come from a church (OSFM). It survived in this position until the gateway was taken down c. 1980 when it was moved for safekeeping to a house off Wexford Street where it is now displayed (WX029-044----) at the roadside.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WX029-013076
