A high cross on Inishcaltra (Inis Cealtra), likely built between the 8th and 10th centuries, associated with an early Christian monastic site; its style reflects typical Irish high cross characteristics, though specific dedication is not recorded. The cross-base suggests a significant religious presence on the holy island.
