A sheela-na-gig was found in 1989 during an SES graveyard clean up scheme in the E end of the graveyard (TS046-048004-) where a medieval church (TS046-048001-) was located on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. It is described by Freitag (2004, 130) as a figure 'Carved on irregular slab [H 0.71m; Wth 0.35m]; head so damaged that no facial features survive; traces of a necklace at base of neck; ribs clearly indicated. Left arm behind left leg with fingers appearing from under thigh; right arm reaching down to vulva in front of body with hands gripping large slit-vulva. Squatting pose, legs widely splayed and bent at knees, feet turned outwards'. It is currently located in the GPA Bolton Library in Cashel where it is listed as TS061-025106----.
