Description
The cross-base located 2 metres northwest of the Church of St. Mary is a late-medieval structure made of limestone. It features a square plinth that reduces to an octagonal shape, measuring approximately 0.5 metres on each side. The alternate faces of the base are hollow-chamfered and have pips at the chamfer stops. At the top, there is a central square socket that once held the cross-shaft.
