White Island

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.12 sec.

White Island

Island off the eastern shore of Lower Lough Erne, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Seven primitive stone statues and a mask, dating from between the 7th and 10th centuries, are displayed on the ruined wall of a 12th-century Romanesque church. Some are Christian in appearance, but the majority are pagan, including a sheela-na-gig (a crude female figure). The mysterious carvings, discovered between 1840 and 1958, appeared to have been deliberately hidden or buried, but may have decorated an earlier monastery on the island.
