Description

The cross, located approximately 35 meters south of The Old Rectory, is of medieval origin and is set on a 20th-century shaft.

The structure stands about 1.2 meters high and features an irregularly-shaped, roughly-hewn shaft from the early 20th century. At the top is the head of a Latin cross, which has chamfered angles and a plain back. The cross head consists of the upper and horizontal limbs of a Latin cross, along with a fragment of the shaft. The front of the cross head showcases a second Latin cross in carved relief, while the reverse side is plain. In front of the cross, there is a stone basin.
