Near Carrick-on Suir, in Co. Tipperary are fine examples of Celtic High Crosses of Ireland. The most notable and famous of these is the Ahenny North Cross in Ahenny. The fact that both of these are National Treasures says something about their importance, in fact, seeing the sheer size of one of these is enough to make the visit worthwhile, with celtic and religious figures of priests, horseman and various animals carved into the cross and inscriptions similar to those in The Book of Kells -there are well worth a visit.
