Description
The Red Cross, located approximately 2 meters west of the Church of St John, is a stone cross that may date back to the 15th century or earlier. It stands about 1.5 meters high and features a rectangular plain shaft that ends in a cruciform shape cut out in a roundel. There are additional incisions on the shaft, but these are mostly obscured.
