Timahoe (Laois)
This very worn, squatting figure at the base of the doorway of the 12th century
Round Tower
might be a tongue-sticker, and might be exhibitionist.
The head is similar to the contemporaneous figure at Berrymount.
A second figure seems to have been stolen.

The figure could be the model for some other Irish squatters,
such as the (possibly-contemporaneous) re-inserted figure at
Moate.
The capitals of the Timahoe doorway feature the common Irish motif of large-eared men with interlaced hair and beards.
The Round Tower with its high doorway approachable only by ladder.
