    The monastery at Druncliffe. The high cross and stump of a round tower (On the other side of the road) are all that remains of an abbey.

    This magnificent high cross is beautifully carved with some unusual animals including a possible camel and frog. The total cross and base are almost 4 meters tall. The cross is carved with biblical scenes: Christ at the temple, the Crucifixion, Daniel in the lions den. The Garden of Eden and the story of Cairn and Able also feature, and, the only known carving of Mary and the Christ child.

    In addition to the High Cross, you will also find the burial site of Nobel Prize winner for literature William Butler Yeats (1865-1939), which quotes a passage from his poem “Under Benbulben”: “Cast a cold Eye on Life, on Death, Horseman pass by”.
