An incomplete carved red sandstone face, of possible Medieval dating (1350 to 1450 AD). The back is rough, and has probably been broken off a larger piece of stone. The face has almond shaped eyes, a triangular nose and a slit open mouth. There are remains of a possible beard around his chin, and a possible crown ontop of his head.
