Location
In the centre of Mitchel Troy village, on the N side of the old road from Monmouth to Raglan

Restored medieval cross-shaft. Red sandstone. Mounted on a square plinth of 3 steps and set in a low cavetto-moulded base, it is about 3m high and rectangular in section, tapering from 37x32cm at the foot, and has convex corners decorated with small shields alternating with ball-flowers so crudely-carved as to resemble little. skulls.
Reason for designation
Included as a unusual example of a medieval preaching cross, and for its group relationship with the church.
