Sadly one can not get information on this pilory. Probably for being in a filled area with other imposing monuments.
"Pillory are stone columns placed in a public place the city or town where criminals were exposed to public shame, and the prisoners were bound and beaten and mutilated, according to the seriousness of the offense and the customs of the time.
The Pillory was also an instrument and proof of feudal jurisdiction."
