Sheela-na-gig in Newtown (ballybrit By.)

Unable to locate possible sheela-na-gig which was described by Feehan as a doubtful sheela-na-gig (1979, 163-66). Photograph of this carving in 'The Landscape of the Slieve Bloom' shows it as a re-used quoin stone inserted into a 17th-century building (OF039-024001-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
