Bundoran Stone Cross

Little is known about the cross itself, but according to an authority on Irish Crosses, it belongs to the late 17th century or early 18th century - roughly the Penal Days. The figure of Christ here resembles those on Penal Crosses. It is probably associated with some old Church here, although it was also noted in local folklore that it came from an old Franciscan House in the Ross. It must have either been originally inserted into the wall of the Parochial House by either Very Rev Canon McKenna or by his successor, Bishop Mulhern, who was pastor from 1903 - 1916. It was moved to the North facing Porch of the Church when renovations took place in the late 1970's and in 2006 it was incorporated into the New Pastoral Centre main entrance wall.
