Moone High Cross is a high cross and national monument reputedly dating from the eighth century. At 17.5 feet high it is the second tallest high cross in Ireland, and also one of the best preserved of its kind.

Moone High Cross is located within the ruins of the early monastic site of Moone Abbey, believed to have been founded by St. Palladius in the 5th century and dedicated to St Colmcille in the 6th century.

Nowadays a roof exists over the cross to protect it from erosion.
My photos are from 1994 - there was no roof yet.
