A lovely church with two crosses, one Christian and one Celtic. I didn't know there were two and so I will have to go back one day.

_I finally got around to re-visiting this place to see the second cross. It is a beauty. It stands in a field on the opposite side of the road from the church and other cross. Sadly one of its 'arms' has broken off.
One side of the cross is engraves with an inverted teardrop junction at the shape that runs into a groove running down th length of the cross. The opposite side has a very faint figure carved into it.
This is one of the nicest crosses I have seen to date.

Early morning sun allowed me to take a photo of the christian cross in full illumination. Nice day to be out.

When you have a Celtic and a Christian style cross in one place and you're passing by you might as well pop in. A small break in a mainly megalithic tour across south Dublin.

The field in which the older cross stands is very rough at the moment. The grass and thistles are nearly waist high. I don't know if it was just the dawn light not being very sympathetic to the carvings or not, but they appeared to be a lot more indistinct than on previous visits. How long before our modern lifestyles produce enough acid-ridden rain to erode the carvings completely?

_From Kiltiernan take the road opposite the Golden Ball to Carrickmines until you reach a crossroads. Turn right and take the first right after the sharp bend signed Tully Church And Cross. Follow this road and you will see the Celtic cross ont the left hand side of the road. The Christian cross is in the field on the other side of the road.
