Now located in the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin (Cherry 1992, 6). Discovered in bed of River Cashen near Lixnaw castle (KE015-060----). Described by Freitag as a figure ‘carved in relief on one face of roughly rectangular block of coarse feldspathic grit, possibly old red sandstone, and badly weathered. Large head with pointed chin (somewhat damaged); bulbous eyes outlined by pecked groove. Pendulous, clearly marked breasts; broad shoulders. Flexed arms pass behind widely splayed thighs with both hands grasping swollen-looking, sagging pudenda from below, small touch-hole underneath. Legs splayed and bent with feet turned outwards. Figure holds a raised oval object under left arm in similar position as Lavey, Co. Cavan’ (Freitag 2004, 137). Cross-referenced with DU018-311----.
