In the entrance porch of the Catholic church at Newcaslte. It consists of a damaged corbel on teh under-surface of which is a weathered carving of a Sheela-na-gig. The original location of this corbel is unknown though it is likely to have been of local provenance. In that regard, it has been suggested (Mannion 2008, 18) that it may have been associated with Templemoyle medieval church (GA084-127002-).
