An old overgrown building, in a marshy, reed covered field with a distinctive high cross should be easy to find?..With lightening reflexes, O Mac ( /photos/91549360@N03/ ) identified this as the church and high cross of the monastery (founded in the 6th century) on Inishmacsaint, Lough Erne ( Inishmacsaint ) . The chaps at the base of the cross really do give some sense of scale.......Photographers: Frederick Holland Mares, James Simonton..Contributor: John Fortune Lawrence..Collection: Stereo Pairs Photograph Collection ( http://catalogue.nli.ie/Collection/vtls000034077 ) ..Date: Catalogue range c.1860-1883..NLI Ref: STP_1430 ( vtls000564744 ) ..You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie ( http://catalogue.nli.ie )
