Indeed it is. Ardboe High Cross was erected in the 9th or 10th century, at a monastery on the shore of Lough Neagh, Northern Ireland. It is a national monument, and at 5.5m is the tallest high cross in Northern Ireland. The cross is made of sandstone and has 22 carved panels depicting biblical events. Despite being weathered from age, it is still possible to make out most of the panels, using drawings of how they would have originally looked.
