Art is all around us

Art is all around us. It's on stone building and architecture you just have to look. In the picturesque little village of Freshford in County Kilkenny lies a deep holy well dedicated to Saint Lachtain. The village is settled on a small park square with the remnants of an Irish high cross, but sadly all that is to be seen is a lump of worn stone. A little way down from the village square is the church of Saint Lachtain, built in 1731 and incorporating an ancient doorway portal from 1110. Although the actual church building is of a relatively late date, the site is of great historical significance in Ireland as a site of almost continuous use since its early foundation.

Heres an image taken from the church on Freshford. It dates back to 1110, What was the artist who designed this into the doorway of the church trying to tell us?
