The Devenish high cross is rather unusual. The head has the most odd looking top I think I will ever see. It is dated to the 15th Century.
Next to it is a square foundation, which is thought to be the original cross base. Immediately behind this setting is a large grave slab with a worn effigy carved in relief. Some have recently suggested that this may be a Sheela-na-Gig. I couldn't see it myself, but it does remind me of the carved slab at Jamestown Cross (County Dublin).
