This Ring Cross is Muireachdach's Cross, located at Monasterboice, County Louth, Ireland.  Courtesy of the Office of Public Works, Republic of Ireland. Please notice the four cut-outs through the stone circle, and the four small stone circles or bosses inside of the four cut-outs.  Also, please notice that Christ is illustrated at the center of this Ring Cross, triumphant over death, instead of nailed to, and dying cruelly upon, the Ring Cross.  Soon, you will understand the meaning of those symbols!
