The largest medieval stone cross in Ireland lies in the townland of Ray just outside the town of Falcarragh in Co Donegal.

The Saint Colmcille’s cross stands 5.56m (18.2ft) high and 2.26m (7ft 5in) across. It is made of Muckish slate.

Standing in the ruins of the Church of Ray, the cross has an ancient history and has witnessed saints and slaughter.

This Video blog tells the story of the cross and the church.
