Cadw's description
Location
On the south side of the Church of St Curig.
History
Probably C15 in origin and all the elements appear to be medieval, but the steps (and presumably the whole structure) have been taken down and rebuilt at a time unknown. This must have been after 1874 when it is recorded as having been blown down in a storm.
Exterior
Churchyard cross of limestone ashlar and rubble consisting of a tall polygonal shaft with broach stops and with a much worn head (Virgin and child), set in a square socket stone with broach stops on a base of four square steps.
Reason for designation
Included for its historic interest as a medieval churchyard cross and for its group value with the Church of St Curig.
