Tonaknock Cross is a high cross and National Monument located in County Kerry, Ireland. [3] [4]
Tonaknock Abbey, a collegiate church of the Canons Regular, was established here in the 7th century; the cross was probably erected between then and the 9th century and represents an early stage in the development of the Irish high cross. [6] Local legend says the south arm was broken by a cannonball during the 16th century Desmond Rebellions. It was found buried in a field and was re-erected. [7] [8]
The cross is 3.2 m (10 ft) high [9] [10] and only decoration seems to be small incised circles on the west head and face. It is believed to date from the 9th century. [11]
