Cross of the Scriptures
The Cross of the Scriptures was mentioned twice in the annals of the Four Masters, first in 957 and later in 1060. At the centre of the East face is the Last Judgement, and at the top of the East shaft is a panel showing Christ with Peter and Paul. On the base are three riders facing left and two chariots facing right. Below this panel are two more panels bearing iconography that are still open to interpretation. At the bottom of the shaft is an inscription that has now become almost impossible to see: OR DO COLMAN DORRO …..CROSSA AR RIG FL.ND, A prayer for Colman who had the cross erected on King Flann
