This is the site of an early monastery founded by Lughaidh, a disciple of St Patrick, who died around 515 CE. In the graveyard is the damaged head of a tenth century granite cross. In 1918 the head of the cross was re-erected on a modern granite shaft and positioned in the graveyard east of the bell-tower. The east face, pictured below, bears figure sculpture on both arms, on the left arm is a hunting scene, the right arm shows a horse carrying a headless torso, preceded by a man carrying a head. This scene is believed to be a depiction of David and Goliath, the scene also present on the base of the North Cross at Ahenny. At the centre of the head is a square plaque with dragon like creatures uncoiling from a central boss. Immediately below the plaque is a winged figure. In the centre of the west face, see bottom image, is a decorated boss and a knotted ribbon extends from the boss along each of the arms. The upper arm of the head is missing.
