The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La place, ancien cimetière, possède une croix dont seul le socle est ancien. C'est un cube aux angles abattus en cavet, entouré, vers la partie inférieure, par un boudin et reposant sur un socle surmonté d'un chanfrein. Trois de ses faces verticales, au-dessus du boudin, portent dans un rectangle des croix différentes et à branches presque égales. La quatrième avait reçu une plaque avec inscription détruite.

History
The square, former cemetery, has a cross of which only the base is ancient. It is a cube with bevelled angles in cavetto, surrounded, towards the lower part, by a moulding and resting on a base surmounted by a chamfer. Three of its vertical faces, above the moulding, bear within a rectangle different crosses with almost equal branches. The fourth had received a plaque with destroyed inscription.
