Tara (Meath)

This figure is one of a group of 'hands-on-thighs' carvings which are not actually exhibitionist, but suggestive.
There is another one at White Island (Fermanagh).

 

 

Westropp's sketch from 1894.

 

On the other side of the island inside the church at Cross (Mayo)
there is a similar figure, in even worse state.

Originally found found at ‘Cill Arsa’ or Killursagh church in Ballymacgibbon North,
it was first recorded in 1847.
Removed from the church, it was built into a coach-house nearby, later suffering considerable damage
before it was rediscovered in 2012.
