A ram dominated by a cross on the roof of "Santa María das Areas" in Fisterra, on the way to "Cabo Fisterra", the (medieval) end of the world. In northern Europe such rams are often connected to the pagan god "Thor". I am not sure about this in a celtic area during the 11th/ 12th century.

"Santa María das Areas" built on the way to the "Cabo Fisterra", today just outside the village Fisterra. The structure of the romanesque church is still visible, though over the centuries it got many "addons". Fisterra has had a "hopital" for the pilgrims in medieval times, and this may have been here, next to to church.
