Aghagower
Aughagower Church, Co. Mayo.
This fine little sheela must have been passed by thousands of people without noticing her. It was published in June 2001 by the Mayo Historical Society and refitted on one of the wells that gave this former monastic settlement it’s name.
You may enjoy wandering around the site but if you still can’t find it cross over the road to the door into the Pub Lounge. Turn around and look directly across the road to a low wall where, eventually you will spot this 10cm x 10cm figure. Good lighting plays a very important part on how well you can see this sheela on the day. More

A report that this sheela is now missing. If anybody visiting could enquire locally about it’s whereabouts I would be grateful.

A reliable source informs me that the sheela is still in the wall, safe and sound.

Aghagower village is about 7k South-East of Westport, Co. Mayo and as there is no easy way to get to the site, a good map is essential.
