The ugliest sculpture in Ireland: In Contemplation Of Stars

In Contemplation Of Stars is one of the ugliest sculptures I've ever seen.

Photo: Google Street View
You can see that in this photo, it looks nothing like what you would expect. It was made around 2000 and is made of Lithuanian granite, so it is very worn, and because of the color and the shape, it looks like poop, which is realistic because the grass is probably filled with dog poop. The thing about this sculpture is that there is almost no information about it online, and one of the only pages on it says it can look completely different from different angles. When I first saw it, I thought it looked like two legs, and from the angle in the photo, you can kind of see it.
