What is recorded here

Killiney church still wears one of two granite crosses on its north wall, their short arms and splayed shaftes making a blunt mark beside the road. The stone does not climb like a cathedral spire; it sticks out like a hand refusing to leave. People may have pressed palms against it, tied ribbons to it, or simply noticed it when the hill road curved past. That much is not known, but the cross remains clear enough to imagine the urgency behind it.

The church is located on the Marino Avenue West, leading E off Killiney Hill road. This is one of two granite crosses attached to the N wall of the medieval church. It has short projecting arms and a splayed shaft. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 14 April 2018.

The cross in Killiney is a medieval granite high cross, likely built between the 10th and 12th centuries, and is attached to the north wall of an older church. Its design, with short projecting arms and a splayed shaft, reflects typical Hiberno-Romanesque style and signifies the area's early Christian heritage.
