Kiltinan Church
Kiltinan Church, Co. Tipperary.
Stolen in 1990—not recovered but a replica that was made is now on the Beara Peninsula.(It’s a long story)
Original was supposedly found in Boston a year or two ago, so why isn’t it back? More
In 1840 this was the one recorded as a sheela-na-gig by John O’Donovan. This is also the only one with a triple nipple. More

Called to this site to find it is now part of the Lloyd-Webber estate, but you can access it by using the turnstile. The south facing corner where the sheela once was is now covered in ivy. Whether this is deliberate or not?. Reading Jim O’Connors book on the sheelas reports that barren women used to scrape the stone for it’s healing dust.
