Devil's Bit, Monumental cross at Devil's Bit Mountain, County Tipperary, Ireland
The 45-foot-tall cross stands at the summit of Devil's Bit Mountain, reaching an elevation of 480 meters above sea level in northwestern Tipperary.
In 1954, local builders manually constructed the monumental cross with a 340-ton base to commemorate the Marian Year celebration in Ireland.
The cross marks a significant religious site where annual Mass celebrations occur during Rock Sunday, continuing mountain pilgrimage traditions in Ireland.
Visitors access the cross via a moderate 3.7-kilometer loop trail from the Devil's Bit forest car park near Barnane village in County Tipperary.
The illuminated cross provides panoramic views of Lough Derg, Slieve Bloom Mountains, and reportedly spans visibility across multiple Irish counties.
