St. Patrick's Cross, with its two flanking decorated stelae. It dates back to the 17th century, and this makes it one of the most important crosses outside mainland Europe. An elaborate interlacing of broad ribbons covers the west face. On the east face there is again interlacing at the top,with birds shown. On the shaft is a grotesque crucifixion with three figures shown underneath. The side stelac are decorated also. It is in very good condition for its age.
The has been a good deal of theorizing as to why complex of very early art should have been set up here, but no generally acceptable explanation is forthcoming. The land around is comparatively good and may have housed a prosperous community who accepted Christianity warmly and gave expression to it. Around the area, in any event, were a number of Church sites and decorated pillar stones and crosses, which would indicate a continuing tradition.
