This one, recovered from the site of the Cistercian abbey of Tracton in County Cork and now held at Cork Public Museum, gives scholars pause. Rather than conforming neatly to type, the figure is draped in a cloak, and there is, according to one reading of the carving, the suggestion of a sword somewhere about her person. These two details led the archaeologist Seán P. Ó Ríordáin, writing in 1944, to observe that they take considerably from the figure's hitherto accepted sheela-na-gig character. In other words, she may be something else entirely, or something in between.

The carving survives on a sandstone block measuring roughly fourteen and a half inches in height, twelve inches in width, and eight inches in thickness, with a curved section cut from the lower left-hand corner. Ó Ríordáin concluded this block once formed the side of a doorway or window, most probably the latter. The figure herself stands upright with a triangular face, arms hanging at her sides, and legs splayed. Jørgen Andersen, cataloguing sheela-na-gigs in 1977, described the exposed genital area as very open and quaintly carved, a phrase that somehow manages to be both clinical and baffled. The piece is listed as number 61 in John Cherry's 1992 catalogue of the type. Its original home, Tracton Abbey, was a Cistercian foundation, and the presence of a figure like this in that austere monastic tradition adds another layer of uncertainty to what she was meant to represent and where exactly she was placed.
