• OF005-003001 Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Situated on the low-lying floodplain of the River Shannon which overlooks it to the N. The monastic site (OF005-004----) of Clonmacnoise lies nearby to E. In 1215 Ralph de Derevaus and Walter Reboth who held the custody of the castle of Clonmacnoise were requested to deliver it to Geoffrey de Mariscis (Cal. doc. Ire., 94). The stone castle constructed in the early 13th century comprises a rectangular, three-storey stone keep with adjoining courtyard area, built within a D-shaped earthwork (dims. 32m N-S x 37m E-W) defined by two earthen banks and a wide flat bottomed intervening fosse (Wth 5.9m). The inner bank (Wth 3.7m) is visible at NW only, while the bettere preserved external bank (Wth 6m; int. H 6.25m; ext. H 3-6m) is upstanding from E-S-SW. A possible ramped entrance feature is located at N. The keep (dims. 11.3m N-S x 19m E-W; wall T 2.2m) is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble and comprises just the N and S walls with wall-footings elsewhere. A fore-building set laterally to the N wall of the keep and which contained the drawbridge, was reached from the wall-walk and led to the main entrance at first floor level. A vaulted support at the W end of the N wall of the keep reinforced the drawbridge. This fore-building which was illustrated by Blaymires in 1739 (Manning 1994, 18) has long since collapsed with just the drawbridge slots remaining. The first floor of the keep was lit by narrow slit opes set within widely splayed segmental arched embrasures. A spiral stone stairs in the NW angle gave access to the upper storeys. The outer courtyard or bawn area (int. dims. 16m N-S x 17.4m E-W; wall T 1.05m) lies N of the keep and is accessed via a round headed, segmental arched entrance with a gatehouse directly inside. Of this three-storery rectnagular gable ended gatehouse with attic above, the SW gable remains intact housing a garderobe at first floor level. It is lit at each level by narrow slit opes set in widely splayed segmental arched embrasures. There are no architectural features later than the 13th century in the fabric of the castle and it has been suggested that it may have been undermined and perhaps abandoned as early as c. 1300 during the period of the Gaelic resurgence (ibid. 35). Of interest are two references in the annals to the fort of 'Liseenabbey' at Clonmacnoise which was burnt on easter Sunday 1135 and which with its '47 houses both great and small' was again attacked and burnt in 120 (Ann. Clon. 194, 221). Although the location of 'Lissenabbey' cannot be positively identified with that of the later castle, it is possible that it was an earlier earthwork fortification built to protect the wooden bridge (OF005-059) over the Shannon at Clonmacnoise and later re-fortified by the Anglo-Normans. (O' Donovan 1856-7, 448; Cooke 1875, 369-73; Monahan 1886, 69; Westropp 1907, 304-6; OPW 1906-7, 8; Anon 1907, 337; Harbison 1975, 204; Manning 1994, 33-4) Castle built in the early 13th-century by the English on the site of the Fort of the Abbot (O' Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 67). Situated on the low-lying flood plains of the river Shannon which is located immediately to the N. Rectangular stone keep with courtyard area built inside a D-shaped earthwork (diam 32m N-S; 37m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks with wide flat bottomed intervening fosse (Wth 5.9m). The inner bank (Wth 3.7m) is only visible at NW while the better preserved external bank (Wth 6m; int. H 6.25m; ext. H varies from 3 - 6m) is not visible from W through N to NE. Possible ramped entrance feature located at N. Rectangular stone keep 3 storeys high with courtyard area situated in the SE sector of the enclosure. The outer courtyard or bawn area (int. dims. 16m N-S; 17.4m E-W; wall T 1.05m) is located to the N of the keep which is accessed via a round headed segmental arched entrance with gatehouse directly inside. This gatehouse is three storeys high with attic above. SW gable still intact with garderobe in SW angle at first floor level. The windows are narrow slit opes set in widely splayed segmental arched embrasures. The Keep (11.3m N-S ; 19m E-W; wall T 2.2m) is built with uncoursed limestone rubble with only the N and S walls surviving with wall footings elsewhere. There was a forebuilding attached at first floor level to the N wall of the keep. This structure now collapsed contained the drawbridge of which the slots survive. The drawbridge was set laterally to the N wall from which the main entrance at first floor level was accessed. Possible stairs along the W wall of the bawn gave access to the drawbridge at the NW angle of the building. This forebuilding is depicted on Blaymires drawings of Clonmacnoise 1739 (Manning 1994, 18). The main entrance gave access to the first floor which was lit by a window set in each wall. The windows were all narrow slit opes set within widely splayed segmental arched embrasures. The spiral stairs in the NW angle gave access to the ground and upper storeys. All the floors were wooden with evidence of a vaulted support externally at the W end of the N wall which would have acted as a support for the drawbridge. The architectural features and layout of site would suggest an early medieval date for the castle possibly on the site of an earlier earthwork which is referred to as the Fort of the Abbot. The lack of late medieval features would suggest that the site was abandoned before this period (Manning 1994, 35). (O' Donovan 1856-7, 448; Cooke 1875, 369-73; Monahan 1886, 69; Westropp 1907, 304-6; OPW 1906-7, 8; Anon 1907, 337; Harbison 1975, 204; Manning 1994, 33-4) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

• OF005-003002 Field system
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Numerous earthworks in the fields around the castle (OF005-003001-) consist of field boundaries of indeterminate date, some of these linear earthworks may form part of an enclosing element of the orchards or fields of the Bishop of Clonmacnoise which were damaged during the construction of the Anglo-Norman Castle. Alternatively the earthworks in this field may form part of a deserted settlement associated with the castle.

• OF005-004001 Cathedral
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Rectangular church (ext. dims. 22m E-W; 10.9m N-S; wall T 0.9m) built with roughly coursed rubble with four distinct building phases evident. The earliest 10th/11th-century phase (int. dims. N-S 10.9m; E-W 19m) is indicated by the presence of Antae at both ends of the church (Clapham 1939, 17). The next phase appears in the 13th-century with the insertion of the W doorway (Manning 1994, 25) with four orders and the sacristy or chapter house (ext. dims. 6.45m N-S; 6.8m E-W) which was added to the E end of the S wall. The sacristy/chapter house which is marked as 'Black Cell' on Balymires map 1738 is lit by two single light round headed windows set in widely splayed embrasures. The doorway from the sacristy/chapter house to the church has a pointed arch with concave hood moulding above with diagonal stone tooled jambs indicating early medieval date. The hood moulding is similar to the hood moulding which survives over the door in the nearby Temple Ri (OF005-007001-) which is also dated to the early 13th-century (Leask 1966, vol. 2, 59). In the late 13th/14th-century the S wall was moved Northwards (pers. comm. Manning) with the insertion of a single light gothic style lancet the rear arch of which still survives at the E end of the S wall. The sacristy/chapter house was extended northwards with the insertion of the double sedilia in the S wall. The fourth and final phase was in the mid 15th-century when a simple twin light Y tracery window was inserted into the S wall at the E end replacing the lancet light. During this phase the rib vaulting carried on columns two bays deep three bays wide was inserted at the E end of the church along with the insertion of the N doorway. The pointed limestone door at the W end of the N wall known as Dean Odo's door is in the perpendicular gothic style and is finely decorated with dragons, angels and ogee headed panels. There are three saints carved over the door representing St. Dominick, St Patrick and St. Francis. The sacristy/chapter house had a second floor (int. dims. 5.1m E-W; 5.7m N-S; wall T 0.9m) inserted over the ground floor possibly in the 15th-century with fireplace and octagonal chimney stack with funnel shaped cap. At the W end there are several architectural fragments. Aumbry and piscina at E end of S wall both display evidence of diagonal stone tooling indicating an early medieval date for their construction. Possible bullaun stone known locally as the wart stone located outside the N wall at the E end. (O' Donovan 1856-7, 447; Monahan 1886, 64-5; Westropp 1907, 282-6; Mac Alister 1910, 24; Kahn 1913; O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 61-2; Molloy 1950, 6-7; Harbison 1972, 204) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

• OF005-004003 Memorial stone
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. 17th century inscribed stone dedicated to the restoration work on the cathedral church carried out by Charles Coghlan, Vicar of Clonmacnoise, in 1647. This stone or plaque is incorporated into the N wall at the E end of the cathedral church (OF005-004001-). The inscribed stone was described by John O’Donovan in 1856-7 when he recorded that ‘on the north side wall within the Church this Inscripcion. Hoc Ecclia restaurata erat p Carolum Coghlan Vicarium General Anno 1617 propriis impensis’ (O’Donovan 1856-7, 447). In 1907, Westropp recorded this inscribed stone which he recorded dated from 1647 and not 1617 as recorded by O’Donovan in 1856/7 (Westropp 1907a, 282-5). Westropp recorded this inscription as a slab with an inscription in ‘raised capitals, the words, “Carolus Coghlanus, Vicarius Generalis | Cluanmacnose, propriis impendiis, hanc | dirutam ecclesiam restauravit….| Anno Domini, 1647” (Westropp 1907a, 282-5) Compiled by: Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 09 August 2012

• OF005-004004 Exhibitionist figure (present location)
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. In store room adjoining cathedral (OF005-004001-). According to Guest this figure originally came from Burgesbeg church (TN028-035001-) (Guest 1939, 48; McMahon and Roberts 2001, 119). Carved in relief on one face of octagonal stone (dims. H 0.25m x Wth 0.21m), all other sides smooth and without decoration. Huge earless head with bulbous eyes and a biggish chin. Angular shoulder; clearly incised ribs, no breasts. Left hand resting on thigh, right arm raised with hand held to side of face. Deep hole indicating vulva with clitoris (?) at upper end. Legs slightly apart and bent with both feet facing the same way (Freitag 2004, 129-30). According to Weir there was 'a small protuberance, like an uvula [which is described as a 'hesitant penis'] immediately below what is a small deep hole which most likely represents the anus'(McMahon and Roberts 2001,119). This figure has been described by Cherry as an exhibitionist figure that has been mistakenly identified as a sheela-na-gig (Cherry 1992, 10). Cross-referenced with TN025-038004-.

• OF005-005 Church
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Present remains consist of a heavily modified church (8.2m N-S; 13.3m E-W; wall T 1.2m) which is used as a modern place of worship. The church has retained its original W doorway in Romanesque style with single order and moulded capitals. The only other original feature is a small round headed window at the E end of the S wall. All the other architectural features belong to the 19th century restoration of the church. There is a large burial enclosure to the Malone family adjoining the N wall at the E end. Window at the E end of the N wall now blocked by Malone burial vaults. (O' Donovan 1856-7, 447; Anon 1868-9, 141-7; Monahan 1886, 68; Anon 1907, 335; Westropp 1907; 297; Macalister 1910, 24; O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 66; Molloy 1950, 11; Harbison 1972, 204; Manning 1994, 29) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

• OF005-006 Church
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Romanesque nave and chancel church (14m E-W; 6.1m N-S; wall T 0.85m) with dividing chancel arch and contemporary round tower at the intersection of the nave and chancel in the S wall. Only the wall foundations of the nave (int. dims. 3.8m N-S: 8.8m E-W) survive with a reconstructed Romanesque window in the W gable and partial evidence of a Romanesque door with three orders the bases of which are all that survive at the W end of the S wall. The well preserved chancel (int. dims. 2.6m N-S; 2.6m E-W) is built with coursed ashlar blocks in a similar fashion to the adjoining round tower. Small round headed window in the E gable and a decorated piscina in grey marble in the S wall which is very similar to the piscina in the cathedral (OF005-0040001-). The round tower (int. diam. 2.15m ; wall T 0.9m) is six storeys high and is completely intact with conical cap. The tower which is accessed from the chancel had wooden floors with each level lighted by a window on the SE side. The windows consist of small flat headed and recessed round headed windows similar to the reconstructed window at the E wall of the Nuns chapel (OF005-029001-). The chancel arch has three orders and is finely decorated with Romanesque motifs and has a later medieval limestone inner arch. An interesting architectural feature is the squinch in the SE angle of the nave which is carried on an engaged column built to carry the weight of the round tower inside the nave. (O' Donovan 1856-7, 447; Anon 1868-9, 141-7; Monahan 1886, 68; Anon 1907, 335; Westropp 1907; 297; Macalister 1910, 24; O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 66; Molloy 1950, 11; Leask 1966, 147-51, Manning 1994, 30) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Small early Christian church (ext. dims. 4.8m N-S; 10.45m E-W; wall T 0.7m) with projecting antae at both ends with later 17th-century church added to the E wall and a late medieval extension added to the W end of the church. Directly over the two centred pointed W doorway there is a plaque dating these alterations to 1689. The N lowermost jamb of the doorway displays punch dressing in a pattern which is common in the late medieval period. Two simple slit opes are present in the S wall and one in the N. An early Christian cross inscribed slab is partly visible in the fabric of the N wall of the church and may have been inserted during the 17th-century renovations. The E gable has been heightened to accommodate the late medieval church to the E. Originally the oratory measured approx. internally 3.4m N-S by 4.85m E-W and was built with roughly coursed large limestone boulders while the later addition was built with uncoursed limestone rubble of a smaller size.

• OF005-013001 Church
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Small Early Christian oratory (ext. dims. 5m E-W; 4m N-S; wall T 0.6m) with projecting antae built with roughly coursed sandstone rubble with rebuilt S half of W doorway and W half of S wall (Anon 1907, 335). The S wall of the church is tilting at an angle probably the result of burials undermining the foundations of the church. According to O' Donovan the church contained St. Kieran's hand while one local man remembered when the church was roofed by oak timbers. Two croziers were found inside the church in 1821 (Anon 1907, 335). (O' Donovan 1856-7, 447; Macalister 1910, 23; O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 63-6; Molloy 1950, 6; Harbison 1972, 204; Langan Vol. 1, 76, Manning 1994, 26) Excavation by Donald Murphy of Archaeological Consultancy Services Ltd. under licence No. E3761 took place of the site of a proposed grave to be located within the ecclesiastical site of Clonmacnoise, Co. Offaly. The site is located immediately adjacent to St Ciaran’s Church within the main complex of ecclesiastical buildings associated with the monastic site of St Ciaran. An area of 3m by 2.4m was excavated to an average depth of between 0.81m and 1.19m. At this depth three modern intact burials in coffins were recorded and dated to between 1928 and the 1940s. These were left unexcavated. The interment of these three modern burials truncated five earlier burials recorded at the same level within the same archaeological context. One of the five disturbed burials (Burial 4) was radiocarbon dated, and provided a date range of between 1670 and 1950, calibrated at 2 sigma, giving a 95% probability rate of this burial dating from between these two dates. However, the five disturbed burials were located within the same archaeological context as the coffin furniture, which suggests a date in the later part of this range, possibly between 1810 and 1950. In order to stratigraphically link the archaeological deposits identified within the excavation to the foundations of St Ciaran’s Church the trench was extended at the south-east corner, during the excavation of which a further burial was identified (Burial 9). This burial was located within a bowl-shaped cut in the natural sand and gravel below the foundations of St Ciaran’s Church. The appearance of this burial suggested that it had been redeposited here, just prior to or during the building of St Ciaran’s Church. This burial was radiocarbon dated and provided a date range of between ad 710 and 890 and ties in with a radiocarbon date previously obtained from mortar from the wall of St Ciaran’s Church (ad 660–980). During the excavation a fragment of a decorated cross-slab was recovered from the topsoil. The site of the proposed grave is devoid of any archaeological features and deposits due to the high level of ground disturbance present within this area of the old graveyard associated with a density of relatively modern burials and groundworks carried out around St Ciaran’s Church in the 1950s (Bennett 2011, 298-9).

• OF005-016 Cross - High cross
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Depicted on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map but not on subsequent OS 6-inch maps. Known as the South Cross which is located to the W of Temple Doolin (OF005-010----) of possible ninth century date with main emphasis on abstract decoration with some scriptural iconography (Edwards 1984, 57-62) such as the Crucifixion on the W face. (O' Donovan 1856-7, 448; Westropp 1907, 296; Macalister 1910, 27; Harbison 1970, 203; Hicks 1980, 26-31). Described by Harbison (1992, vol. 1, 54-6) as following: 'The South Cross stands close to the south-west corner of Temple Doolin (OF005-010----). Carved in sandstone, it is 2.9m high, and measures 1.16m across the arms. The bottom of the shaft is about 46cm wide and 29cm deep. It stands on a base 85cm high, and measuring 1.18m by 85cm at ground level. The base consists of a large lower panel and two smaller upper panels seperated by rope-mouldings. The shaft of the cross has its edges formed by a roll moulding decorated with an incised herring-bone motif, and the head has no cylinders. Some of the panels are framed by rope-mouldings. The cross has a much-weathered roof-shaped cap. EAST FACE Base Lowest panel : Horsemen. - At least five horsemen, and possibly a lion, proceed towards the left, but the worn condition of the panel makes identification of the details difficult. Middle panel : Interlace. Top panel : Too worn to identify, but probably interlace. Shaft Plinth : A 'fluid' or debased fret pattern. E 1 : 'Inhabited vine-scroll'. - A vine-scroll pattern inhabited by birds and quadrupeds. E 2 : Raised bosses with interlace ornament, joined together by trumpet-patterns. Head Against a background of fret patterns, five bosses with interlace decoration stand out in relief. The central boss is the largest, and it and the one above it have the interlace arranged in such a way as to have a sunken area in the shape of a cross in the centre. Ring : The ring bears animal ornament like that on the ring of the nearby Cross of the Scriptures, consisting of interlace and animal interlace - the latter best preserved on the bottom right-hand segment. SOUTH SIDE Base Lower panel Left : ADAM AND EVE. - This panel is very much worn, but not so badly as to prevent us from discerning on it the figures of Adam and Eve beneath the tree, which seems to spread a branch over the head and down the back of the two figures. The serpent seems to turn towards the figure on the right who may, therefore, probably be identified as Eve. Right : (?) THE SACRIFICE OF ISAAC. - Just to the right of the centre of the lower panel there are the legs of a fgure, possibly bending towards the right, with a small figure possibly above its back. At the right of the panel there are the legs of another figure. Although the panel is very worn, the composition would best fit an interpretation as THE SACRIFICE OF ISAAC, with Isaac on the left with the angel above him, while Abraham would then be on the right. However, in most other instances of this scene on the Irish crosses, Isaac is usually on the right. Middle panel : Much worn, but apparently bearing interlace forming circular patterns. Upper panel : Much worn, but apparently with upright knots of interlace. Shaft Plinth : A panel of interlace. S 1 : Four bosses, one above the other, interlinked with low-relief spiral patterns. S 2 : Interlace. Head Underside of ring : The underside of the ring is slightly bevelled with a raised vertical rib in the centre, to the left of which is a panel of fretwork pattern, while to the right there is a panel of interlace. End of arm : The end of the arm has two linked interlaces of disparate size, framed together by a raised hatched moulding. Top of ring : The top of the ring is slightly bevelled. A raised rib divides it into two panels, that on the left having an interlace, while there is a fretwork pattern in the panel on the right. Top of shaft : A panel of fretwork. WEST FACE Base Lowest panel : The lowest panel is divided into three upright sections, separated by a raised rib. The central panels has bossed decoration, while the two which flank it bear interlace forming circular devices. Middle panel : The middle panel shows a hunting scene with a man on the extreme right with a stick, who chases birds and quadrupeds (led by a deer) towards the left. Upper panel : Decoration unclear. Shaft Plinth : No decoration is now visible on the plinth. W 1 : An interlace, possibly of animal type, forming four spiral devices. W 2 : A panel of interlace forming nine circular devices. W 3 : THE CRUCIFIXION. - An upright panel, not framed by raised mouldings as on the other panels, shows Christ against the background of a cross with very slightly concave arms. He wears a long robe to just below the knees. It is not clear whether Christ's arms are clothed. His body seems to be somewhat curved, as the angle of his bound legs does not correspnd to that of the face, which is slightly off-centre. Benath Christ's arms we find the two half-kneeling figures of Stephaton on the left offering vinegar in a vessel just beneath and to the left of Christ's chin, and Longinus on the right piercing the side of Christ with his lance, which he holds with his left hand. His right hand seems, uniquely, to hold a shield against the lower part of Christ's garment. Two streams of blood spout out from Christ's left side onto the face of Longinus who, according to tradition, was thereby healed of his blindness. Above the arms of the cross there is one figure on the left with its back to Christ, probably representing the Moon (or perhaps Ocean), and another on the right, probably facing Christ, which is likely to represent the Sun (or perhaps Earth). Both figures would appear to have their knees up in front of them. Christ's face has been damaged by weathering, and what might seem like eye-holes are probably secondary. Head Five bosses with interlace decoration stand out in relief against a background of pelta-shaped patterns. The central boss is slightly larger than the others. Ring : The ring has raised mouldings at the edges, but the decoration between them is not clear. NORTH SIDE Base Lower panel : This panel is divided into two halves, in both of which the decoration is so worn that it is no longer identifiable. Middle panel : Four squares of cross-shaped fretwork. Upper panel : Interlace forming five spiral-like devices. Shaft Plinth : The plinth bears two pairs of pelta-shaped forms, one on top of the other, and back to back. N 1 : A panel of animal interlace similar to that on the ring of the Cross of the Scriptures. N 2 : A panel of interlace fo four interlinked forms of roughly circular shape. Head Underside of ring. - The underside of the ring is slightly bevelled, with a raised rib seperating panels of fretwork on the right and interlace on the left, with a rope-moulding on the outer side of each. End of arm. - Interlace in an almost square panel framed by a raised, hatched rope-moulding. Upper side of ring : The upper side of the ring is divided into two panels by a raised rib. The panel on the right bears an interlace. Top of shaft : An interlace'.

• OF005-017 Cross - High cross
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Depicted on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map as the 'Cross of the Scriptures' located to the W of the Cathedral (OF005-004001-). Not marked on subsequent editions of the OS 6-inch maps. Well preserved 10th-century high cross decorated with panels depicting scenes from the bible such as the Crucifixion, the arrest of Christ, Soldiers guarding the tomb of Christ etc. (Harbison 1970, 202-4). (O' Donovan 1856-7, 448; Westropp 1907, 290-6; Macalister 1910, 15; Harbison 1979, 177-88; Henry 1980, 36-46). Described by Harbison (1992 vol. 1, 48-53) as following: 'The sandstone millstone grit cross which stands to the west of the doorway of the Cathedral gets its name because it has commonly been identified with the cross thus named in an entry in the Annals of the Four Masters under the year 1060. The monolithic cross is 3.15m tall, 1.45m across the arms, and the shaft measures 54cm wide and 38cm thick. It rests on a base which is 75cm high, and 1.20m by 1.07m at ground level. Both base and shaft have roll mouldings the upright corners, and the panels are seperated by a raised rib which projects from each side towards the centre and turns back on itself without meeting the rib from the other side. The arms of the cross are tilted noticeably upwards and, unusually, the ring projects beyond the surface of the cross. The top of the cross is roof-shaped, and decorated with an imitation of roof-shingles. EAST FACE Base Lower Panel: Two Chariots. - Two chariots with large 8-spoked wheels, and probably drawn by two horses apiece, proceed towards the right. In addition to the charioteer, who holds the reins, there is one passenger in each vehicle. Upper panel : Horsemen. - Three men on horseback proceed towards the left. Porter's interpretation as the Magi on horseback is a possibility, though there is nothing to identify the horsemen. Shaft Plinth : Inscription . On the plinth at the bottom of the shaft there is a fragmentary inscription, the only absolutely certain letters of which are ANDORRO on the first line and AR at the end of the second. E1 : (?) JOSEPH INTERPRETS THE DREAM OF PHAROAH'S BUTLER. - Two figures in profile - that on the left in a long robe with a cloak and carrying a travelling bag on his back, that on the right in a short belted tunic with sword-grasp with both hands a stick which expands into a triangular space on each side, and with a rounded knob-like form on top. The stick has been interpreted as the corner-post of a church, which seems highly improbable. The head which Crawford noticed as being carved on the knob on top of the stick is almost certainyl secondary. In contrast to the popular interpretation of the two figures as having local significance-either St. Ciaran and King Diarmuid swearing a compact or placing the corner post of the first church there in the ground, or King Flann and Abbot Colman founding the Cathedral at Clonmacnois - it is suggested here that the panel is more likely to represent an episode in the story of Joseph, perhaps Joseph interpreting the Bulter's dream about the vine which the two figures may grasp between them. E2 : (?) THE CHIEF BUTLER GIVES THE CUP INTO PHAROAH'S HAND. - Two frontal bearded figures, dressed in long robes with cape, each having a brooch on the right shoulder and wearing a sword. One of the figures appears to offer the other a long, curving cylindrical object shaped like a horn. If the panel beneath is correctly interpreted here as belonging to the Joseph cycle, so also may this, in which case it could represent the butler on the left handing over a drinking horn (rather tham the biblically more correct cup) to the Pharoah on the right. E 3 : TRADITIO CLAVIUM. - Christ, seated in the centre and wearing a long robe, hands a key to St. Peter on the left and a book to St. Paul on the right. Peter and Paul both stand, and are dressed in long robes. Head Centre : THE LAST JUDGEMENT. - Christ stands with out-turned feet standing on a bar, and clad in a long robe, carrying a sceptre with curling ends over his right shoulder and a cross-staff over his left shoulder. To the left is a figure with flexed legs playing a flute, behind which, on the south arm, are the righteous turning towards Christ. To the right of Christ, on the north arm, is a figure with its back to Christ and holding what may be a three-pronged fork over the right shoulder, driving further to the right the wicked who have turned their backs on Christ on their way to eternal damnation. Top : MAJESTAS DOMINI. - A small central figure, presumably Christ seeming with an open book in front of him, and flanked by two figures, almost certainly angels. The limited space in the panel has reduced the height of the figures, giving the impression that Christ is seated and the two flanking figures kneeling. Ring: The ring, which stands out from the shaft and arms of the cross, is decorated with four roundels ornamented with a variety of boss motifs, from which the sanke-like animals emerge - those on the lowest boss seen from above with front legs projecting beside the head, Within the toll mouldings of the edges of the ring, there are panels of animal ornament. The cylinders are attached to the inner surface of the ring, their ends decorated with a central boss surrounded by pellets. SOUTH SIDE Base : Lower Panel - Hunting scene - Two figures in short tunics on the right raise their hands towards two dogs one above the other in front of them, and seem to be hunting two deer. The deer nearest the centre of the panel turns back its head and seems to have its back pierced by a spear. Upper panel : THE KISS OF JUDAS - Four figures carrying upright staves in front of them walk towards two figures in the right who are best understood as embracing one another. The four figures represent the multitude coming to arrest Christ, who is being embraced by Judas. Shaft Plinth: 'Inhabited Vine Scroll'. - A vine-scroll inhabited by two quadrupeds facing one another and with their heads facing outwards. The panel is much worn. S1 : Human interlace. Two sets of human interlace, one above the other, forming an X-shaped pattern, with the side spaces occupied by interlace. There is a human head in each of the corners of the sets of human interlace. S2 : DAVID PLAYING HIS LYRE - A frontal, long-robed figure stands holding a crook with volute head, and is protected by an angel with outspread wings above. The crook could suggest that the figure may represent David with the attribute of a shepherd. Head Underside of the ring. - The underside of the ring has panels of S-spirals flanking a sunken panel bearing two human heads enmeshed in the coilings of two serpents with pelleted backs, one having its head on top, the other with its head below. Underside of arm : THE HAND OF GOD - A left hand with beaded cuff, presumably the Hand of God, in a circle with beaded decoration. End of arm : A tronco-pyramidal boss with fret-pattern in the central square and having cylindrical cushions above and below. Upper side of ring : A sunken vertical panel in the centre contains interlace. Top of shaft : A panel of interlinked bosses having above it a panel of loose interlace. WEST FACE Base Lower Panel Left : CHRIST ENTERING JERUSALEM. - Christ, seated on a colt with bowed head, proceed towards the right. Behind the animal's head something stans out in relief which could be part of a human figure, or possibly a tree in the branches of which Zacchaeus may formerly have been visible. It is uncertain whether the figure in front of the animal is one of the crowd welcoming Christ and holding a palm in its left hand, or whether it belongs to the middle section of the panel, though the latter is the more likely. Centre : (?) THE RESURRECTION - The top part of the scene shows the upper part of three human figures, that in the middle possibly with arms outstretched. The lower part is very worn, and it is no longer possible to make out the detail

• OF005-018 Cross - High cross
  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps, located to the N of the Cathedral (OF005-004001-) as a result known as the North Cross. Only portion of cross shaft with remains of a tenon at the top set into a circular cross base which was originally a millstone (Manning 1994, 41). Decoration mainly consists of interlaced human figures, animals and panels of animal design. The E side of the cross is totally blank with decoration on all the other faces. (Westropp 1907, 289; Macalister 1910, 27; Harbison 1970, 203; Hicks 1980, 6-28) Described by Harbison (1992, vol. 1, 53-4) as following: 'It stands to a height of 1.85m, with a 5cm tall tenon on top. The shaft is 39cm wide and 32 cm thick. The panels are all framed by a raised moulding, and there are traces of a roll moulding in the upright edges. As the east face is undecorated, the cross may have been designed to stand against a wall. EAST FACE Undecorated SOUTH SIDE S 1 : A panel of irregular interlace (with animal-head terminations?). S 2 : Unidentified figure - A frontal figure in 'buddha' pose, with arms and legs folded, and seemingly with a human head in profile on each side, which appears to whisper into the ear of the seated figure. S 3 : An S-shaped spiral in raised relief, and terminating in animal heads. S 4 : A lion, facing right, with its tail raised behind its back and having a protruding tongue. WEST FACE W 1 : An interlace of four interlinked circular devices. W 2 : An interlace forming four roughly spiral-shaped forms. W 3 : An interlace with angles at the corners. W 4 : An interlace with fish-tail terminals forming four loose spiral-shaped designs set around a small ring in the centre. W 5 : The lower hald of a panel which was divided into four segments by a cross-shape with a circular centre and half-circle terminals. The two surviving lower segments have raised panels of circular interlace. NORTH SIDE N 1 : A panel of loose interlace. N 2 : A panels of two contorted animals with snake-like bodies. N 3 : A tall panel in three sections. In the lowermost section there is a quadruped with raised left hind leg. It turns its head backwards to bite the hind leg of the animal forming the middle section above it, which places its right hind leg on the hindquarters of the lower animal, as it turns its head back to bite what seems to be its own tail. The second, upper animal may have its front leg raised in front of it. The uppermost section of the panel shows a now headless but probably human body decorated with spiral ornament, with its right leg folding beneath itself, the anatomically curious left leg starting above the right leg and then interlacing with it at a diagonal. Curled up at the bottom of this uppermost section of the panel is an animal which coils its serpent-like body in a broad sweep above the human figure's left lower leg and underneath its right ankle, then above the right upper leg and beneath the left upper leg, and finally running out or expanding to the right of the spiral-decorated human body'.

  Description

  National Monument No. 81. Portion of a high cross described by Hicks as the West shaft (Hicks 1980, 6-15). Now on display in the Clonmacnoise Interpretative Centre. Described by Harbison (1992 vol. 1, 56-7) as following; 'a 'pillar' which could originally have formed part of a cross, although there is no trace of a mortise or tenon to suggest that another fragmet stood on top of it. As one face is undecorated, it may have been designed to be placed up against a wall. The pillar was broken near the bottom about twenty years ago. There is a rounded moulding at the edges, and the panels of decoration are framed by a raised moulding. It is 92cm high, 37cm wide and 19cm thick. EAST SIDE A badly-damaged panel of interlace. SOUTH FACE A single panel of four sections. On the bottom there is a lion walking towards the right, and with a backward turning head biting its own tail. Above it is a horseman, facing left.
