Description

This gravestone or churchyard cross is located immediately south-west of the tower of the Church of St Martin. It is probably of Medieval origin and consists of a small stone monolith featuring a short shaft and a circular head. The front of the head is engraved with a cross Pommee. If it was originally a churchyard cross or wayside cross, the shaft has likely been shortened over time.
