Portion of shaft, head and base of granite cross. Slightly protruding arms and small wheel, both outlined with low moulding. Boss on one side of the pyramidal base. Formerly in field known as 'The Church Field' (JRSAI 1907, 218, 236), now standing by roadside (see CW012-044002- for present location). Well (CW012-044003-), reputed to be holy, existed in same field but has been covered by road widening.
