It seems that this sculpture of a Roman centurion's head was commissioned by East Dunbartonshire Council as part of a 'Rediscovering the Antonine Wall' project. He hasn't yet been freed from his enclosure of mesh fencing. https://www.antoninewall.org/news-and-events/news/nethercroy-roman-head-sculpture-artist-commission Remains of the Antonine Wall, dating from Roman occupation of Scotland in the second century AD, run over nearby Croy Hill and across other neighbouring countryside.
