Your position is used in this browser to sort the list, and is not sent anywhere for that. If you ask for directions, both ends of the route go to this site, in the body of the request rather than in the address, and the reply is marked not to be stored.

Your browser asks before sharing your location. Sorting happens here in your browser. Directions requests send the start and destination to MyMap.

About this directory

The closest first.
Wherever you are.

Each county list includes places within 12 km of its towns and villages, including across a county boundary. A place can appear in more than one county list, but is counted only once in the national total.

How MyMap works
How do I find the high cross nearest to me?
Press "Find the nearest" above and allow this site to read your position. It sorts all 36 on the map by how far they are from you. The sorting happens in your browser and your position is not sent anywhere for it. The one thing that does leave the device is a route: if you ask for directions, both end points go to this site, in the body of the request rather than in the address, and the reply is marked not to be stored. This site keeps no accounts and runs no analytics; what the company hosting it records about a request is outside its control.
How many high crosses are in this directory?
36 distinct mapped records. This is the number in this directory, not a complete count of every high cross in Ireland.
Can I see them by town instead?
Yes. Every county and every town has its own list, linked below, and each high cross has a page with its street, how far it is from the centre and a map you can take directions from.
Are the distances along the road?
No, they are straight lines, which is a good enough order to choose from. A place's own page can draw the route along the road from where you are.
