Market Cross, Lisnaskea, Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland
Market Cross
Lantern slide of a market cross in Lisnaskea, Co. Fermanagh. Originally titled 'Lisnaskea Market Cross. West Face of Shaft.' The west side of the shaft has been carved with thirty-two small circular bosses arranged in eight straight rows of four. This cross was apparently placed in its place in 1841 when the marketplace was built. It is though to have resided in the confines of a church or monastery before this.

Market Cross, Lisnaskea, Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland
Market Cross
Lantern slide of a market cross in Lisnaskea, Co. Fermanagh. Originally titled 'Lisnaskea Market Cross. East Face of Shaft.' The base is formed of one stone and consists of an upper and lower part. Carved on the east face of shaft is a scene depicting Adam and Eve standing under the Tree of Knowledge. The cross has been defaced and it makes it hard to see the exact details of the carving, so identification of the figures is not definite. There does appear to be trace of a snake at the top of the tree trunk. Also, it seems that there is an object in Adams hand which may be the fruit that led to the Fall. These two elements would suggest that this is a scene depicting the Fall. This cross was apparently placed in its place in 1841 when the marketplace was built. It is though to have resided in the confines of a church or monastery before this.

Holywell Church, Belcoo, Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland
Church
Templerushin
Lantern slide of Holywell Church, Belcoo, Co. Fermanagh. Originally titled 'Holywell Church Co. Fermanagh. Door Jamb and West Window.' The site's name derives from a spring well dedicated to St. Patrick that is located close by. This small church is located by the grave yard where there are also bullaun marked stones. Their presence would suggest the site's link to early Christian worship or perhaps earlier pre-Christian rituals. Present is the slide is a small, square-headed window which is located at the west gabel. Located high up, it is loophole in type and has a square-headed interior splay with stepped sill and lintel. Also pictured is the remains of a doorway. Only the jamb survives and there are no traces of other fallen stones. It would be hard to tell what shape the arch of the door would take, given these missing stones.
