Bealin Twyford High Cross

Currently located in the Demesne at Twyford, this ornate high cross is estimated to be more than 1200 years old. It was moved to this spot from Bealin, the site where it was found. The west side indicates that the cross was created for someone named Tuathgall, who may have actually been an Abbot at Clonmacnoise in the early 800s.

The rest of the faces of the cross contain beautiful geometric patterns, depictions of birdlike animals, a horseman and a lion, as well as intricate Celtic knot work.
