Sheela-na-gig in Carrick (carrick Ed)

Sheela-na-gig

What is recorded here

Carrick Castle in County Kildare once held an evil eye stone, possibly a Sheela-na-gig, now lost inside the Murray Collection at Cambridge University. The castle may have worn that stone as a warning, forcing every visitor to meet the household before entering its rooms.
O'Leary (1899-1902, 331) lists an 'evil eye stone', possibly a Sheela-na-gig, from Carrick Castle (KD002-009----) as part of the Murray Collection which was transferred to Cambridge University. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 24 May 2012
