Listed in the RMP (1997) as 'stone sculpture (original location)’, this record refers to a sheela-na-gig which was originally located in Killursagh church (MA121-137001-). In 1867 Wilde recorded it as a stone figure carved in relief, which was removed from Killursagh church and built into a coach house nearby (O Lochlainn 1968, 157). In 2012 new information came to light confirming that the carving consists of a sheela-na-gig, and that its present location (MA121-178----) is in the porch of the modern Roman Catholic church in Cross village.
