National Monument No. 510. Poorly preserved 10th-century cross with a ringed head the ring of which is now destroyed. This sandstone cross contains biblical scenes on both its faces with the sides decorated with geometric patterns (Harbison 1970, 201). The cross stands in a truncated pyramidal base with bands of interlace decoration. Not marked on the first two editions of the OS 6-inch maps and may have been removed from original location and probably erected at present location in the 19th-century. A 3D model of the high cross can be downloaded from Offaly County Council website at www.offaly.ie/eng/Services/Heritage/Archaeology/3D_Surveying_of_Archaeological_Monuments/
