History
A cubic plinth with rough masonry supports a square slab with chamfered edges. This pedestal receives a parallelepiped block of granite bearing at the centre of its vertical faces a trilobed rosace and at the angles a crude volute surmounted by a Romanesque cross. The whole supports a monolithic granite cross.
