Cadw's description
Location
Located in the churchyard directly to S of the W tower of the Church of St Eilian.
History
Date unknown, but probably Medieval and may be contemporary with the main body of the church erected in late C15.
Exterior
Much weathered remains of a churchyard cross, comprising octagonal shaft on square base set on slab stepped base; the head of the shaft is encircled and surmounted by a narrower stone pier (the lower part of the original cross).
Reason for designation
Included as a Medieval churchyard cross which forms a goup with the adjacent Church of St Eilian.
