Though a modern road now divides the monuments, they clearly once formed a unified religious landscape. The western side features a rectangular burial ground enclosure with what appears to be an original entrance marked by two jamb stones, positioned 1.5 metres apart near the southwest corner. Within and around this enclosure, several intriguing features hint at the site’s spiritual significance: a flat-topped boulder that likely served as the base for a high cross, a partially buried cross-slab, and a tall plain cross standing near the southern end.

East of the dividing road, the religious symbolism continues with another cross surrounded by a small cairn of stones, possibly used for penitential purposes and recorded on the 1903 Ordnance Survey map. About 18 metres south, an earth-fast boulder bearing a cross inscription emerges from the ground, whilst to the northeast, a holy well once marked the townland boundary, though it has since been closed up. This collection of monuments speaks to centuries of continuous religious practice and pilgrimage at the site.

Recent archaeological work has revealed even more about Carrowmore’s hidden past. In 2012, the Bernician Studies Group conducted a magnetometer survey in the fields surrounding the high crosses, uncovering the subsurface remains of a bi-vallate early Christian ecclesiastical enclosure. This discovery confirms that the visible monuments are merely the surviving elements of what was once a much larger and more complex religious settlement, likely bustling with monastic life during Ireland’s early Christian period.
