The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Croix d'origine celtique selon la tradition, mais plus certainement exécutée entre le 14e et le 17e siècle. Sur un fût trapu à gros chanfreins, inscription illisible. La croix a une forme ancrée et les ergots inférieurs font saillie, lui donnant vaguement l'aspect d'une croix lorraine.

History
Cross of Celtic origin according to tradition, but more certainly executed between the 14th and 17th century. On a squat shaft with large chamfers, illegible inscription. The cross has an anchored form and the lower projections jut out, giving it vaguely the appearance of a Lorraine cross.
