The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Monolithe en forme de pyramide terminé par un chapiteau ionique supportant une croix de fer aux extrémités trilobées. Les quatre faces de la pyramide sont sculptées notamment des instruments de la Passion. La date de 1749 est gravée sur la partie basse ; celle de 1897 sur l'emmarchement. La croix provient vraisemblablement de l'ancien cimetière qui entourait l'église.

History
Monolith in the form of a pyramid terminated by an Ionic capital supporting a cross of iron with trilobed extremities. The four faces of the pyramid are sculpted notably with the instruments of the Passion. The date of 1749 is engraved on the lower part; that of 1897 on the steps. The cross probably comes from the old cemetery which surrounded the church.
