Sunday, 27th March 2005

Three sections of cross shaft, some odd fragments and a cross head are all that remain of an obscure monastic settlement here at Emlagh.

The pieces represent the remains of two crosses. These are mounted upon a stone dias in the middle of a field. The Celtic knot pattern decoration on the shafts is quite exquisite. The cross head is carved with stone bosses, but does not have a ring.
