Location

History
The base is probably later medieval; the cross modern.
Exterior
An unusually large and strongly-built base of a churchyard cross, with a modern replacement cross. Built of large roughly-dressed rectangular blocks of stone. Almost 4m square, with 5 steps up to a square 2-stage pedestal, the upper stage octagonal with bulbous stops.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with the church.
