Cadw's description
Location
On the south side of the Church of St. Michael and All Angels near the porch.
History
Late medieval, possibly early C16 and contemporary with the tower etc. of the adjacent Church of St. Michael and All Angels (qv). It has an introduced cross-head which is possibly the original gable cross from the chancel.
Exterior
Churchyard Cross of white limestone which consists of a short polygonal shaft with cross-head in square socket on base of three square steps. The shaft has been truncated and the cross-head which appears to be of a different stone, probably comes from elsewhere (see History).
Reason for designation
Included as a partly medieval cross and for group value with the Church of St. Michael and All Angels.
