| has gloss | eng: Muiredachs High Cross is a high cross from the 10th or possibly 9th century, located at the ruined monastic site of Monasterboice, County Louth, Republic of Ireland. There are two other high crosses at Monasterboice; in local terms Muiredachs cross is also known as the South Cross. Muiredachs cross has been described as the most beautiful specimen of Celtic stonework now in existence; and the crosses at Monasterboice have been stated to be Irelands greatest contribution to European sculpture. Recently concerns have been raised over the well-being of Muiredach's cross; and it has been suggested that the cross should possibly be brought indoors in order to protect it from the elements. |
