The serpent was used in romanesque carvings to
represent punishment in hell, usually in association
of representations of lust. Go to some of Spain's
superb romanesque churches and check out the
corbel tables.

Bull cult was evident at Lough Gur in Ireland. I reckon St. Patrick did not rid Ireland of snakes but of Serpent Cults.

A few Irish tombs have free standing stones inside them, Loughcrew Cairn L springs straight to mind. That has a narrow light pillar that the cairn may have been built around.
