Dating back to the 1950s, this image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and mythology of this enchanting landscape. The cross, believed to be over 7 feet high, is carved from granite, a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of the natural materials that have shaped this rugged terrain. Its intricate designs, reminiscent of the intricate knotwork and interlacing patterns found in Celtic art, speak to the deep spiritual connections that once bound the people of this land to their environment and their ancestors.
