Cadw's description
Location
In the NW corner of the churchyard.
Exterior
Remains of a medieval cross on a chamfered stone base raised on rough stone steps. The chamfered shaft of the cross survives and is c1.8m in height: the cross head is not the original and probably came from the E gable of the chapel where such a cross was shown in a drawing of 1794.
