7. Early Christian era - Badoney Cross
Badoney Church in the Glenelly Valley is another early foundation reputedly associated with St Patrick and also a medieval parish church. There is little to see of this period in the modern graveyard apart from a marked hump and loose rubble, however, a small cross which is considered to be from this age was taken into the church for safe keeping in 1978. Such features are often associated with church sites and prefigure the more ornate high crosses of later generations.
