A convincing fake

Clonmacnoise, Co. Offaly

 

The High Cross of the Scriptures shown here is actually a replica which stands in place of the original which has since been moved into the visitor's center. The detail of the replica is so accurate that they even simulated the degree of weathering that the real cross has - the very characteristic that led to it being moved indoors for protection. More info on the crosses and the site can be found here:
