There are a number of crosses located in the Rathdown area known as the Fassaroe Crosses. It has been suggested that these crosses may have been carved by the same stonemason. The tallest of these crosses is the one from which this distinctive group gets its name, St Valery's Cross at Fassaroe, Bray.
The cross stands at 1.42 metres high and is 16cms in width. The Western face bears a crucifixion scene and the eastern face bears two very worn human heads. There are two other heads on the cross, one can be seen protruding from the south edge of the ring and another is situated on the north eastern side of the base. A large diagonal band of quartz runs through the shaft of the cross.
