The transom or cross-arm of the high cross of Cloone was at the head of a grave in the graveyard attached to the site of the early monastery (LE033-006001-), but it was moved to the small graveyard of St. Mary’s when that graveyard was conserved in the early 1990s. It is a sandstone (dims 0.24m x 0.2m; L 0.77m) with the hollowed angles at the crux of a typical high cross. There is a double moulding around the edges and single figures on each side. One is a bishop with vestments and holding a crozier; the other is probably Christ performing a blessing as he appears to be fully clothed with hands extended from the elbows, palms forward. One end panel has an intricate interlace but while the opposite panel is less clear it is probably of the same design. (Kelly 1993, 158-61)
