Clomantagh Castle, Co. Kilkenny.
Also known as Croomantagh, Clomanto and Cloghmantagh.
Figure is now difficult to see due to a large tree growing in front of this 15th century Towerhouse, so come early in the year before Spring has sprung.
A very stylized sheela with limbs running out of it’s frame, a single plait looking object over it’s left shoulder, ribs, breasts and a heartlike object in it’s centre. A single finger pointing to her vulva and clitoris.
This Castle is available to rent, and if you behave yourself you should have no problem with access.
As part of Heritage Week, the Castle will be open, free, to the public on Tuesday 7 September 2004. Tours between 10 and 5.
