Ahenny High Crosses

Both crosses showcase intricate designs that echo their wooden predecessors, once adorned with metal bindings. The carved stone bosses mimic the studs that would have secured metal plates to these wooden crosses. The South Cross stands an impressive 3.90 meters tall, while the North Cross, with its unique mitre-shaped capstone, reaches 3.13 meters in height—similar to the decorated West Cross at Kilkieran.

While the bases of both crosses are adorned with figures, the North Cross features a captivating, though worn, procession. This includes a cleric bearing a ringed cross, a pony with a headless rider, and a chariot. These elements provide a unique glimpse into the artistry and symbolism of early Irish Christianity.
