Moone - High Cross

South of Ballitore, at Moone, just off the N9, is a slender high cross (17.5ft/5m in height) with magnificent low reliefs, naively stylized. On the east side can be seen Daniel with seven lions, Abraham's sacrifice, Adam and Eve, and the Crucifixion; on the west side the Twelve Apostles, the Crucifixion, the Virgin and St John; on the north side the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes, the Flight into Egypt, the Three Young Men in the Fiery Furnace and various animals; and on the south side a number of figures and animals. The cross stands in the churchyard beside a ruined 13th C. church which contains remains of another cross with figures of animals and centaurs.
