What is recorded here

A defiant face of stone appeared in 1992 when men broke the wall of the old Tullaroan schoolhouse, building since 1842. Sheela-na-gig stared through dust and mortar, having waited beneath human noise for generations. The children likely ran past that hidden chamber while believing they understood the world.

A Sheela-na-gig, likely medieval in origin, often associated with fertility or apotropaic symbolism; such figures may have had protective or ritual significance in prehistoric and early Christian traditions.
