Cadw's description
Location
Beside the path between the entrance gate and the church.
History
Late medieval, probably late C15 in origin but very largely reconstructed in 1910 when the medieval remnants were set on new steps and given a new top. This work is possibly by Arthur Grove who restored the church (qv) at that time.
Exterior
Built of red sandstone ashlar. Wide low square step with nosing carries a smaller octagonal one also with nosing. Late medieval broached socket stone carries an octagonal shaft, the bottom stone of which is medieval. Moulded top carries a cross fleurie with gable cover.
Reason for designation
Included as a fine early C20 memorial reusing some medieval fabric and having strong group value with the nearby Church of St. Andrew.
