Handcrafted Stonecast Cross Co. Offaly, Ireland This 9th century High Cross still survives at the site of Durrow Abbey, near the town of Tullamore. The Abbey, known as Field of Oaks was founded by St. Columba in 553. Though it was plundered and burned several times during the Dark Ages, the much weathered High Cross remains. The abbey was the source of the 7th century Book of Durrow which is now in the library of Trinity College in Dublin. 1.
