The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Dernier vestige subsistant de l'ensemble composé d'une chapelle et d'un petit oratoire sur le chemin du Tro Breiz, la croix se compose d'un fût octogonal supportant une console à moulure cintrée destinée à recevoir deux statues disparues. La console est gravée, dans sa partie médiane, d'un écusson effacé. A la partie inférieure, les chanfreins se terminent par un biseau triangulaire pour obtenir, à la base, un plan carré. Le socle, octogonal, est de forme pyramidale. Le piedestal est constitué de trois gradins, également octogonaux. Les sculptures représentent, à l'ouest le Christ, à l'est la Pietà.

History
Last remaining vestige of the ensemble composed of a chapel and a small oratory on the path of the Tro Breiz, the cross is composed of an octagonal shaft supporting a console with a moulded arch intended to receive two missing statues. The console is engraved, in its central part, with an obliterated coat of arms. At the lower part, the chamfers end in a triangular bevel to obtain, at the base, a square plan. The socle, octagonal, is of pyramidal form. The pedestal is constituted of three steps, also octagonal. The sculptures represent, to the west Christ, to the east the Pietà.
