Appendix B item (stones wrongly associated with pre-Conquest period)
Carved head, probably a corbel, present location unknown. One of three stone heads found near Paytoe Hall about 40 years ago whilst ploughing (see Adforton 1 and 2 in Appendix A, p. 294). Unlike nos. 1 and 2, this is a quite well-carved, pointed face with a pronounced, rather flattened nose, down-turned mouth and protuberant eyes under heavy eyebrows. The three Adforton heads have been identified as Roman, Celtic or later medieval. From the Herefordshire SMR photograph, however, no. 3 looks like a twelfth- or thirteenth-century corbel.
