Further north at Carndonagh is a high cross at the edge of the town. This is reputedly the earliest high cross in Ireland with carving. The cross has Celtic knot work at high level and what looks like a Christ figure at lower level flanked by two smaller figures and underneath three more figures. On each side of the cross are two pillars with full size figures. On the right, a soldier with a sword and on the left, a pilgrim with a bell and satchel
