AHENNY HIGH CROSSES

From Carrick-on-Suir, take the R 697 north for about six kilometers, turn onto Scrogh Bridge and drive for about two kilometers. Park in front of the church and the crosses are in a walled cemetery on the other side of a field. Two crosses, the North Cross (3.13m) and the South Cross (3.90m), found on the monastic site of Kilclispeen, await you there. These are two of Ireland's oldest ringed crosses (^8th and ^9th centuries), made of sandstone and decorated with Celtic symbols. The northern cross features a scene of David and Goliath.
