The important monastic site of Killamery was where St. Gabhan Fionn founded a monastery in the sixth century. Not much remains, but a particularly fine 9th century high cross was found along with an early gravestone and a holy well.

The High Cross has curvilinear ornamentation and a finial. There are also some figured scenes and some intertwined beasts. The cross of Killamery is one of a celebrated series of Irish figured crosses.

Beside it is a large bullaun stone and a boulder with a 20cm wide perforation. There is also a small perforated stone and a good cross-inscribed slab. In the adjoining field is the holy well.
