Name Fahan Cross
County Donegal
Nearest Town Derry City
Access Road N13
About Located just outside at the village of Lisfannan, 27 kilometres east of Letterkenny in County Donegal, this was the site of a sixth century monastic settlement founded by St.

Mura, but nothing remains of that now.

The cross slab is quite large - 1.

6m tall x 1m wide - and has a large Latin cross carved on both sides.

The west face also has two figures with long hair.

Down one edge is one of Ireland's few Greek inscriptions.
