The National Museum of Ireland has a couple of Iron Age wooden idols that were found in peat bogs. They're rather splendid, especially the one with the hole in its groin, which was either a vagina or a socket for a phallus. Most people go for the latter, but there's no reason to suggest that this figure wasn't a wooden fore-runner of the Sheilas.
It also houses that ENORMOUS Bronze Age canoe which totally blew my mind....it is huge! Mind you, it is also unfinished which made me think the builders went " agh it's just too big, it's never gonna work!" ;-)Vx
