What is recorded here

The decorated shaft of a high cross (dims 0.4m x 0.26m; H 1.3m) and its subcircular base (diam. 1.3m) are NW of Killary church (ME012-020----). From the bottom the decorative panels on the E face are: Adam and Eve, Noah’s ark, the sacrifice of Isaac and Daniel in the lions’ den, while the W face has the annunciation to shepherds, the baptism of Christ, the adoration of the Magi and the marriage feast at Cana. The N and S faces are decorated largely with interlace but there are two portraits of David (?) on the N side. (Crawford 1926, 2-3; Harbison 1992, 1, 124-5) See attached views from SW (001) from NE (005) and SE (13). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 August, 2014
