Dublin South City High Cross
Fragment of a possible high cross that originally came from Clonmacnoise (see OF005-064—-) and is now housed in the National Museum of Ireland. Decribed by Harbison as ‘ In the National Museum in Dublin there are some fitting sandstone fragments from Clonmacnoise. The top of the upper fragment is so damaged that it is difficult to know whether it formed part of a pillar or cross. Together, the fragments measure about 90vm in height, and they are 35cm wide and 18cm thick. Their edges have been damaged, and the panels are framed by a raised moulding. There is a large tenon at the bottom, but no trace of a mortise hole on top. Only one face is decorated, suggesting that it may have originally stood against a wall.
