Monasterboice is most famous for its spectacular high crosses, especially the Cross of Muireadach, an outstanding example of high crosses of the early Christian period in Ireland. It is a monolith, 5 metres high, which features many dedailed scenes from the Bible. The crosses stand in the shadow of a magificent Round Tower, about 30 metres high, now missing its upper part and conical cap.
