- Ahenny abstract "Ahenny (Irish: Áth Eine, meaning "ford of Eine") is a small village and civil parish in County South Tipperary long celebrated for its ancient Irish High crosses. Close to the village is the early Christian foundation of Kilclispeen monastery and in the adjoining graveyard stand two celebrated Irish High Crosses: the Ahenny High Crosses.Megalithic tombsSituated one kilometre east of the County Kilkenny border, Ahenny nestles on the slopes of Carrigadoon Hill and overlooks the valley of the river Lingaun. Scattered remnants of a once thriving slate industry, which spanned the Tipperary-Kilkenny border act as stark reminders of modern Ahenny’s roots.A rich tapestry of megalithic tombs dot the rugged landscape surrounding Ahenny, which resides in the ancient Kingdom of Ossory. Two kilometres east on Killmacoliver Hill rests Baunfree megalithic tomb: while two kilometres north, the imposing Passage tomb of Knockroe (the Coshel) adorns a hill summit. The knockroe passage tomb shares a lot of similarities with Newgrange, Knowth and Loughcrew and is one of the most decorated tombs outside of the Boyne valley group.Ten kilometres to the west is Slievenamon Hill, again crowned with a Neolithic summit cairn. The river Lingaun rises on Slievenamon and flows east for some ten kilometres before turning sharp south to flow through a valley between Carrigadoon and Kilmacoliver hills. This bend occurs some six kilometres north of Ahenny and it marks the boundaries of some conspicuous territories. It marks the boundary of Leinster from Munster. It marks the boundary between County South Tipperary and County Kilkenny and it lies at the intersection of three ecclesiastic Diocese: Ossory, Waterford and Cashel.Celtic high crosses - Western Ossory groupIt is generally accepted that the Ossory group were amongst the earliest examples of celtic High Crosses to be found in Ireland, with those in west Ossory considered the very oldest.The west Ossory group of Celtic crosses includes:Ahenny and two kilometres south-east that of Kilkieran, then eight kilometres further south is Tibberaghny. While Killamery, some eight kilometres north of Ahenny completes this close group; although Kilree High Cross sixteen miles north-east of Ahenny is often included.These ancient high crosses sprinkled over the rugged landscape are an enduring reminder of a very early Christian period.".
