Cross

What is probably the smallest high cross in Ireland (H 0.55m; Wth at crux 0.31m; T 0.14m) is within the graveyard (WX039-018006-) of Kilmokea church site (WX039-018002-). The cross is of sandstone and the head is solid. There is rope-moulding around the edges of both large faces, each with its own cross, and rope-moulding surrounds individual panels that are filled with knot interlace. An inscription, possibly reading NDMNA, is at the top of one large side (Harbison 1992, vol. 1, 131, 363). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 January, 2013

The high cross in Great Island, County ?, was likely built in the 9th or 10th century and is associated with the early Christian site of Kilmokea. It is notable as what is probably the smallest high cross in Ireland and is carved from local sandstone, though its specific dedication or style remains unidentified.
