Description

NY 15 NE 4/12

BOWNESS Anthorn Anthorn Cross

Cross. Probably medieval. Red sandstone. Rough, cross-shaped stone set into the ground, too weathered to determine its original shape. It has been suggested that this marks the site of a battle with the Scots, but as there was a similar cross, Fishers' Cross, at Port Carlisle, this suggests that these were coastal crosses erected to guide fishermen along an otherwise featureless and flat coastline.
