sheela na gig identified from Geograph title/caption. Also known as "The Goddess", but probably not a Sheela as no genitalia are obvious. The stone on which the carving resides was used as a doorstep until the 1920’s when it was uprooted and the carving found on the underside It may have had an apotropaic purpose. Likely to be of a medieval date.
