Description :
The position and location of the Donagh Cross have varied over the past forty to one hundred years.
In its present position all the carvings can be clearly seen, except for a very small portion at the bottom of
the the three figure panel, which is set slightly more deeply than previously.
As to the carvings themselves, for the most part they are too well known to need description.
The cross is believed by some authorities to date from the last quarter of the seventh century
and is one of the oldest in Europe. Each pillar stone has a carving on each side, though some,
presumably, are unfinished.
