This 9th-century high cross stands 18.5 feet tall and is adorned with intricate carvings depicting biblical scenes, Celtic designs, and mythical creatures. The cross is made of sandstone and features a distinctive wheel-head design, with four arms of equal length. The carvings on the cross are remarkably well-preserved, considering its age, and provide valuable insights into the art and craftsmanship of medieval Ireland.
