<1> Various, Written Communication to the HER, The Manchester Museum, Petch. M, 13/12/1990 (Written Communication). SCH3756.

Stone head from Tytherington. Found in the garden of a house on the Manchester Road, Tytherington around 1965-56. The dimensions are 7" x 3.5" x 3.5". This is smaller than average for a stone head. Lentoid eyes with heavy lids and pupils. The nose and mouth have been executed fairly simply, some modelling of the contours of the face and appears to have a moustache. It was possibly free standing but due to its size is more likely to have been incorporated into a wall or building or placed on a plinth.
