What is recorded here

Freestanding sculpture, 1994, by Dick Joynt (1938-2003) depicting an over-scaled ram. The sculpture is made up of four tooled granite blocks and is set on the side of a slipway between two roundabouts.
No doubt intended as a light hearted statement, this daring and memorable large sculpture of a ram is suggestive of the mountainous character of the county.
