Visit Notes

Saturday, 27th October 2007

A road now bisects the remains of the early monastic settlement at Carrowmore. This high cross is on the southern side of the road. It is only 3m tall, but it is massively bulky. It is not decorated.

The field is occupied by sheep, but this has not stopped nettles and other assorted weeds from growing up around the base of the cross. There is a small pile of stones around the base of the cross, but these are not there to hold it up.
