Historique
La croix repose sur un piédestal de pierres liées par un mortier récent. Le socle est composé par un bloc de granit taillé. Le fût supporte une croix à trois fleurons portant, sur une face, un Christ en croix, la tête légèrement penchée sur le côté, imberbe, vêtu et légèrement déhanché. Le revers figure, en léger relief, une croix pattée inscrite dans un cercle.

History
The cross rests on a pedestal of stones bound with recent mortar. The base is composed of a block of granite dressed. The shaft supports a cross with three fleurons bearing, on one face, a Christ on the cross, the head slightly tilted to the side, beardless, clothed and slightly swaying. The reverse shows, in slight relief, a cross pattée inscribed in a circle.
