	Monasterboice - Travel Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Monasterboice (Mainistir Buite or "Buite's monastery") is a tiny enclosure, but it contains two of the finest high crosses (both dating from the tenth century) and one of the best round towers in the country - the site is open to all during daylight hours.
		As you enter, the squat cross nearer to you is reckoned the finer of the two, and certainly its high-relief carving has worn the centuries better.
		Some of the subjects are ambiguous and open to a certain amount of conjecture (William Wilde, father of Oscar, argued that many relate as strongly to events associated with Monasterboice as to the Bible), but most have been fairly convincingly identified.
