Newry and Mourne Council describes the sculptures in the Upper Square thus: 'This artwork celebrates the history of Castlewellan as a centre for markets and hiring fairs as well as the town’s strong association with traditional music. It depicts a parade of animals and produce led by a fiddler and a dancing girl “to market to market to buy a fat pig home again, home again, jiggidy jig”. The sow is taken from the famous photograph of the “Old Ulster Pig” in Castlewellan fair'. www.mournelive.com/.../Mourne_and_Ring_of_Gullion_Public_Art_Trail
