A high cross in Baile An Bhaoithín, located in the Calluragh burial ground, was likely erected during the early Christian period, associated with the settlement at An Raingiléis. Its exact builder is unknown, but it reflects the typical insular Irish high cross style, often used for Christian worship and community gatherings.
