Emlagh Cross

Many centuries ago, a monastic settlement was located at Emlagh, although there is no written mention of it and no visible ruins remain. That is, except for the pieces of two different high crosses standing at this site.

Located in the centre of a field upon a stone pedestal are the head of one cross as well as its shaft, inscribed with the delicate Celtic carvings of ages past. The fragments of another cross that once shared the pedestal can also be seen.
