Park in front of the church and the crosses are in a walled cemetery on the other side of a field. Two crosses, the North Cross (3.13m) and the South Cross (3.90m), found on the monastic site of Kilclispeen, await you there. These are two of Ireland's oldest ringed crosses (8th and 9th centuries), made of sandstone and decorated with Celtic symbols. The northern cross features a scene of David and Goliath.
