    "A Celtic Cross.
    Among the objects of interest inspected by the members of the Kildare Archaeological Society while enjoying their annual outing, was the magnificent Celtic Cross in Moone Abbey. The cross, which a few years ago was so successfully restored by the Kildare Archaeological Society in conjunction with the owner, stands in the Abbey churchyard. It is close on 18 feet high; and it dates back to near the eighth century, and until 1835 had lain buried. Subsequently when the upper portion was discovered search was successfully made for the base, and mainly through the instrumentality of the society the sections were re-united and placed in their present position, and now the cross is one of the most beautiful and interesting that it were possible to conceive. The Crucifixion is represented, and on the main shaft are carvings of the highest forms of Celtic art. The panels beneath are marvels of composition and dexterous carving. The figures represented include the Blessed Virgin, the . Apostles, Adam and Eve, and the Flight into Egypt. "
