The small graveyard around the church. The sheela-na-gig was where the dense ivy now is.


At this old church we should have found a sheela-na-gig, but it seems that it's gone now.

According to some news reports, the sheela-na-gig was on the southwest corner of the ruined church, as a quoin stone. It was stolen in the early hours of January 9th, 1990 and its theft was discovered in the morning of that day. Despite the investigation, it hasn't been found since.
According to the Ordnance Survey of October 18th, 1840, the stone would measure 81 cm x 51 cm. The figure was sideways, and all its anatomical details were very well visible.

The church is quite plain. It's aligned to east (95°) and on this side is a square tower.
This building is inside a huge private property where the Kiltinan Castle, home to the Andrew Lloyd Webber family, is. We found a person that let us in, but he asked us not to go further the church. And so we did.
