Rochestown Church (Tipperary)

A drawing of one the first sheela-na-gigs so to be identified, made in the early 1840s by the Irish antiquarian Thomas Westropp,
and first mentioned in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy 1840–44.
It was on the gable wall of the church.
Illustrated amongst his Sketches in Ireland (in the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin), it has long since disappeared.

His contemporary John O'Donovan mentioned another Tipperary carving at Kiltinane, also on a gable wall.
