  High cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A High Cross is a standing cross with a circle, made of stone and often richly ornamented.
High Crosses exist in Celtic parts of Britain i.e Scotland Wales and in Ireland; the Irish High Cross has become more famous because of its distinctive shape (the ringed Celtic Cross) and the amount and quality of decoration.
The High Crosses were status symbols, either for a monastery or for a sponsor or patron.

 High Cross, Leicestershire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High Cross is the crossroads of the Roman Roads of Watling Street and Fosse Way in Leicestershire, England.
For here their most celebrated ways, crossing one another, extend to the utmost boundaries of Britain; here the Vennones kept their quarters; and at the distance of one mile from hence, Claudius, a certain commander of a cohort, seems to have had a camp, towards the street, and towards the foss a tomb.
The ground here is so high, and the surrounding country so low and flat, that it is said, fifty-seven churches may be seen from this spot by the help of a glass.

 ARDBOE HIGH CROSS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Ardboe High Cross, which dates to the ninth/tenth century AD, is all that now remains of a sixth century monastery, which was established at Arboe by St. Colman Muchaidhe.
The Cross, made of sandstone, stands exceptionally high, about eighteen feet, and is a characteristic local variation, consisting of a taller more narrow shaft with a small cross head - also discernible at the nearby High Cross in Donaghmore, County Tyrone.
The High Cross at Ardboe would appear to be the only example where the shaft and head belong together originally, thus it has a distinguishing "collar" on the shaft where the two sections of stone are attached.
