The pillory has a prismatic shaft and a four-armed capital. It has an ornate pine cone at the top. It is decorated with the arms of Portugal, those of the Sampaios, indicating that they may have been the first grantees, as well as a male figure with a key in his hand and a female figure, believed to be Our Lady of Balsamão.
