“… The Tall Cross or West Cross is the highest in Ireland, at nearly 7 metres. Because of its size it has the greatest number of carved panels of any Irish High Cross. However, these panels are suffering from weathering much more than Muiredach’s Cross, and their present state must raise concerns for all the carvings at Monasterboice. ...”

The Great Cross or West Cross is the tallest in Ireland at 6.5m high. The depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus is special. Because of its size, many images are carved.
