Description

The West Cross or Ruined Cross, which stands at the west end of the graveyard must have been a very fine High Cross, it has some beautifully inscribed decorative panels on it's north and south sides. The west side has some scenes from the Bible, including Adam and Eve and also the Israelites returning to the promised land. The east side has many scenes such as The Marriage feast of Cana, Christs Baptism and Christ entering Jerusalem. The cross was probably erected in the 10th century. The damage to the cross was done by Oliver Cromwell's soldiers. Img179 7169c
