Three stone heads. Nos. 1 and 2 are roughly carved with crude, sketchy features. No. 1 is roughly square, while no. 2 is rather more anatomically correct with a small head, thick neck and flattened face. Adforton 3 is entered under Appendix B (p. 298).
Appendix A item (stones dating from Saxo-Norman overlap period or of uncertain date)
These heads have been identified as Roman, Celtic or later medieval, but only photographs seem to now survive. One of the heads (no. 3) looks like a twelfth-/thirteenth-century corbel (see Appendix B). The others could be almost any date (including 'modern').
