What is recorded here
That is the clearest known fact in the saved story. The claim about Tully East and Tully West may still be wrong, because the finding may use either name for the same place.
Located in the W quadrant of Tully graveyard (KD022-034001-) and a few metres W of the W wall of the church ruins belonging to the Preceptory of the Knights Hospitallers (KD022-034----). Slightly concave shaped sandstone with a roll moulding of 12th century appearance on one edge indicating it formed part of an architectural feature such as an archway over a 12th century window or doorway. On one face is the figure of a sheela-na-gig carved in relief.

A Sheela-na-gig carving, likely dating to the medieval period, often associated with fertility symbolism or ritual function, though its precise meaning remains uncertain. Found near a Hospitaller site, it may reflect a blend of pre-Christian and Christian traditions.
