Clonmacnoise

 Colman Bocht (poor)
The foundation of Clonmacnoise with St Ciarán on the left and Diarmait mac Cerbaill on the right, whom Ciarán foretold would become High king of Ireland which came to pass. Diarmait was the last High King who took part in the banfheis to marriage to the Goddess of the land.
The North Cross which has a disputed depiction. The figure is possibly Cernunnos, the horned God of the woods, also found on the Gundestrup cauldron.
