Cadw's description
Location
To the S of the church near the S churchyard entrance.
History
Late medieval. The top of the cross is missing and the base is probably re-made; split in shaft has been repaired with metal hoops.
Exterior
Slender, tapered, octagonal stone cross shaft standing on small square base of 2 steps; weathered condition.
Reason for designation
Included notwithstanding its incomplete condition for its historic importance and for group value with the church and listed churchyard monuments.
