Nestled in the serene landscape of County Kilkenny, the Killamery High Cross stands as a striking testament to Ireland’s rich ecclesiastical and artistic heritage. Dating back to the 9th century, this intricately carved sandstone cross is among the finest examples of early medieval high crosses in the Ossory region.
The cross features a ringed design, adorned with a series of biblical scenes and intricate Celtic knotwork, reflecting the craftsmanship and religious devotion of the period. Located at the site of the former Killamery monastery, the cross marks a significant point of pilgrimage and is surrounded by the remains of a medieval church and graveyard.
As a national monument, the Killamery High Cross offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore the spiritual and artistic legacy of early Christian Ireland, while enjoying the tranquil beauty of the Irish countryside.
