Killamery High Cross

[Text Source Megalithic Ireland ](http://www.megalithicireland.com/High%20Cross%20Killamery.htm) The cross stands at 3.65 metres high and the west face of the cross bears most of the figure sculpture. The east face pictured right, is decorated with three marigolds on the shaft and has a boss in the centre of the head surrounded by intertwining serpents with an open mouthed dragon above the boss. The cross is known as the Snake-Dragon cross. The cross has a gabled cap-stone and the narrow sides have double mouldings. At the end of the southern arm of the cross there is a panel depicting Noah in the Ark and the end of the northern arm features four scenes centered around John the Baptist. There is also a worn inscription on the base of the western side of the cross which is said to read as 'OR DO MAELSECHNAILL' a prayer for Maelsechnaill. This inscription cannot be seen on the stone today.
