Description
The remains of a churchyard cross, likely from the 15th century with later alterations, are located about 15 meters north of the tower of the Church of St Mary. The structure features a low square rubble base made of rough-hewn blocks, topped by the octagonal socket of the former cross. Each of the alternating sides has a broad convex broach, and the center is hewn out to form a bowl. The cross is much damaged and altered, but it is primarily included for its historical interest, as the remainder of the cross is missing.
