The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Un socle quadrangulaire s'appuie sur un triple ressaut rectangulaire. Le fût quadrangulaire de la croix s'élève au centre d'un socle carré, portant la date de 1730. Le fût se compose de deux pierres superposées, maintenues ensemble par deux agrafes de métal. La grande croix monolithe sculptée sur une seule face, est rattachée au fût par quatre agrafes du métal. Le Christ, grossièrement sculpté, porte une tunique courte. Ses jambes sont comme laissées pendantes le long de la croix. La partie supérieure de la croix conserve l'emplacement où se trouvait l'inscription INRI.

History
A quadrangular base rests on a triple rectangular plinth. The quadrangular shaft of the cross rises at the centre of a square base, bearing the date of 1730. The shaft is composed of two superimposed stones, held together by two metal cramps. The large monolithic cross carved on a single face is attached to the shaft by four metal cramps. The Christ, roughly carved, wears a short tunic. His legs are as if left hanging down along the cross. The upper part of the cross retains the location where the inscription INRI was found.
