Clones Round Tower High Cross and Church
Clones Round Tower High Cross and Church
Phone direct :
Clones, Monaghan
An old monastery was founded here by St. Tighernach in the 6th century. The high Cross probably stood near the Round Tower originally and was later moved to its present position in the Diamond. The cross (9th century?) is in two parts which did not belong together originally. On the west face are Adam and Eve, the Sacrifice of Isaac and Daniel in the Lions' Den, while on the east face are the Adoration of the Magi, the Marriage Feast of Cana, the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes and th...
Moone
Moone
Phone direct :
Moone, Kildare
In a walled enclosure outside the village stands this gracile ninth-century High Cross, reassembled from fallen but intact sections found on the site of an early monastery attributed to St Columba. The carving is highly individual, the style outwardly ingenuous yet disarmingly beautiful in its effect. The details remain for the most part crisply defined and the subjects of the various panels can be readily identified, among them the Twelve Apostles, Adam and Eve, the Fiery Furnace, the Flight...
Kilree High Cross
Kilree High Cross
Phone direct :
Kilree, Kilkenny, Kilkenny
The High Cross in the field is one of the most satisfying of the earliest carved Irish Crosses, the interpretation of the symbols still exciting scholars. The worn stone carvings include St. Anthony and St. Paul in the desert; the Temptation of St. Anthony; Jacob and the Angel; a figure flanked by two horsemen and a hunting scene. Strong traditions holds this to be the burial place of Niall Caille MacAeda, High King of Ireland, who died in 846 A.D. The early church was reconstructed in the Mid...
Durrow High Cross
Durrow High Cross
Phone direct :
Durrow, Laois
Durrow High Cross Durrow High Cross belonged to a monastery founded by St. Columba in 553, made possible by the generosity of Aedh, son of the local Prince Brendan. The monastery was plundered and burned a number of times. There is no trace left of the Monastery, but in the churchyard is a holy well and a High Cross - a 9th century relic which shows on one face: the rising of Christ, the sacrifice of Isaac and Christ with David and his harp and Christ with David killing a lion on the right. Th...

Tullaghan Stone Cross
Tullaghan Stone Cross
Phone direct :
Tullaghan, Leitrim
An ancient (9th-10th century) stone cross faces the N15 in the village. This was moved here to protect it from coastal erosion and was believed to be part of a long vanished monastery. The Annals of the Four Masters is one of the principal Irish historical sources for scholars. It was compiled in 1636 by Miceal O Cleirigh, O.F.M and three of his colleagues. A bronze memorial to the four can be seen at the bridge over the River Drowes at Mullinaleck....
Moone High Crosses And Church
Moone High Crosses And Church

This High Cross, with its beautiful flat stylised and naïve figures, is 17 feet high, unique and one of the most appealing of all the High Crosses. On the east face are Daniel and seven lions, the Sacrifice of Isaac, Adam and Eve, the Crucifixion; the south face has The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes, The Flight into Egypt, The Three Children in the Fiery Furnace and various animal, while the north face has SS Paul and Anthony breaking bread in the desert.
The cross stands on the site...
Kells High Crosses
Kells High Crosses
Phone direct :
Kells, Meath
The monastery at Kells would appear to have been first founded in 804 by monks from St. Colmcille's foundation at Iona who were fleeing from the Viking invasions and seeking a safer place for their treasures. In 877 reliquaries of the saint were transferred to Kells. The monastery was raided by the Vikings in 919, 950 and 969.
The greatest treasure of the monastery - the Book of Kells, now in Trinity College, Dublin - which had possibly been written here in the early 9th century, wa...
Killamery High Cross
Killamery High Cross
Phone direct :
Kilamery, Kilkenny
St. Goban Find is reputed to have been the founder of the original monastery here. Not far from the modern ruined church stands the fine High Cross which has been dated to the 9th century. Both cross and base are richly ornamented with a variety of geometric motifs. The west face of the cross has a stag-hunting scene, a chariot-procession and panels possibly representing the Lord Sanctifying the Seventh Day, and Adam and Eve after expulsion from Paradise. The east face is largely decorated wi...
Tullylease Church
Tullylease Church
Phone direct :
Tullylease, Co. Cork
An Early Christian monastery founded possibly by St. Berichter or Berchert who, with his father (a Saxon Prince) and two brothers, came to Ireland after the Synod of Whitby in 664. Another saint of the same name, who was possibly also Abbot of the monastery, died in 839.
The existing church is of various dates. The south end of the east wall is probably the oldest part (12th century?) while the south door and window are early 13th century. The present chancel was built in the 15th ce...
