Architectural fragment in Moygara

In Moygara Castle (SL044-052001-). This is an architectural fragment, a limestone keystone which is lying on the ground near the gate tower of the castle. It has a carving on its outside face but this is now almost worn beyond recognition. The carving appears to be two figures facing each. Another keystone (SL044-052002-) lies nearby and it has an equally worn carving of a single figure holding something in its arms (SMR (1989) file). Neither of these carvings appear to be the figure of a sheela-na-gig, though Guest (1936, 111 and fig. 7) implies that one might be.
