A Sheela-na-gig carved on the underside of a capital on the tomb of Bishop Wellesley (d. 1539) (KD022-029034-) which was originally located at Great Connell Priory (KD023-016----), and has since been re-erected in Kildare Cathedral (KD022-029005-) (Freitag 2004, 134). This Sheela-na-gig was described by Freitag (op. cit.) as being ‘carved on slab; head cut off; arms splayed out with hands joining over pudenda; legs widely splayed, knees bent’. See KD022-029075- for present location.
