The National Monuments Service's description
At the W end of the 'Fair Green' to the S of Kilcock village. Rochfort (1999, 74) provides a photograph and brief details on what is regarded locally as being the Kilcock market cross. The photograph shows a small, rectangular, granite (?) cross base with a broad mortice in its upper surface. Traditionally used as a coffin-resting stone.
