Description

The village cross is made of oolitic limestone and dates back to an unspecified period. It features a square base that measures approximately 0.7 meters by 0.7 meters. The south side of the base is partially exposed, revealing the top part of an arcade with three cusped pointed arches and a wider arch in the center. The base includes a socket for the now-broken shaft, which measures approximately 1.2 meters. The shaft is square in plan and has two prominent convex mouldings on each side.
