The Medieval Period (1100AD - 1499AD)

The Medieval Church

Stone Head, Jordieland Farm

Period:
Medieval
Description:

A medieval carved stone of a head. Found at Jordieland, Kirkcudbright. It was found in 1998 partially buried in a boundary hedge of the farmhouse at Jordieland, about 10m from the building. The museum holds a smaller carved head of the same stone type and general style provenanced to Tongland Abbey. This probably indicates the likely original provenance for the 1998 find; Jordieland is less than 2km from the site of the abbey.
