Dromore High Cross

Like so many High Crosses, Dromore Cross once stood in the town marketplace and was a gathering point for people to listen to travelling preachers, until it was thrown down and broken during religious disturbances in the 17th century. In 1887, a subscription was raised to restore what remained of the grantie Cross and move it to its current site close to the Cathedral. Only the intersection, arms and lower part of the shaft could be reused, these portions are thought to date from the 8th or 9th centuries.
