One of the earliest crosses in Ireland, the Carndonagh cross dates to the 7th Century A.D. and is on public view in the town of Carndonagh in north Inishowen, County Donegal to the west of the town near the junction with the roads to Buncrana and Ballyliffin. The high cross is made of standstone and features an elaborate knot design and a carving of Christ crucified as well as other figures. Two intriguing smaller slab pillars accompany it on either side, one featuring King David and another person and depicting what may be the earliest Irish harp ever etched. The other pillar is carved with a strange animalic figure and the elaborate artwork of the three structures in similar in style to the Celtic artworks and manuscripts.
