Cross and Round Tower, Devenish Island: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and rich history of Devenish Island in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The image, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the striking contrast between the ancient High Cross in the foreground and the Round Tower looming behind. The High Cross, with its intricately carved designs and ornate decorations, stands as a testament to the island's early Christian heritage. Its presence on the island dates back to the 9th or 10th century, making it an invaluable piece of Ireland's religious and cultural history. The Round Tower, believed to have been built during the early medieval period, stands tall and proud in the background. This impressive structure, one of only a few remaining in Ireland, was likely used as a refuge for monks during Viking raids. Its distinctive shape and imposing height make it a striking landmark and a popular tourist attraction. Devenish Island, located in the heart of Lough Erne, has long been a place of pilgrimage and spiritual significance. The serene beauty of the island, with its tranquil waters and picturesque surroundings, offers a glimpse into the past and a chance to connect with the rich history and cultural heritage of Northern Ireland. This photograph, with its captivating view of the Cross and Round Tower, is a reminder of the enduring allure of Devenish Island and the fascinating stories it holds within its ancient walls.
