Medieval Wayside Cross, suggested to be the Molescroft Cross

MATERIALS: cross base, shaft fragments and capstone of well dressed magnesium limestone.

PLAN: the cross base is just over 1m square with a chamfered top.

EXTERIOR: set into the cross is the stump of the cross shaft which is about 0.5m square standing to about 0.5m. Just to the north east there is a section of cross shaft nearly 1m long with chamfered sides with plain stops to one end. Both ends are broken, the break at the end with the stops appearing to correspond to the stump held in the cross base. The other broken end appears to correspond to another section of shaft that lies just to the north, on the far side of the driveway. This section of shaft is about 1.5m long and tapers slightly to end with an enlarged block just over 0.5m square. Just down hill, there is a square, shallow pyramidal capstone.
