Cross base and part of shaft. Probably medieval. Gritstone. 2 tiers of steps, the lowest approximately 1.5 metres square. The cross base is a square block and the base of the stone shaft, approximately 50 centimetres high, is set into a socket in the top. The shaft is chamfered on all 4 corners, the chamfers widening possibly towards an octagonal section. The cross is said to stand on the deserted site of the village of Whipley but it was possibly a way marker as it stands on trackways leading westwards towards Pateley Bridge and northwards towards Fountains Abbey, It stands close to the site of a well.
