Description
The churchyard cross is a tapering shaft approximately 2 meters tall, featuring rounded angles. At the top, it carries the remains of a cross head adorned with interlace decoration. On the east face of the shaft, there is a low-relief depiction of a small cross. The shaft is raised on a rough circular base, which was originally supported by four or five rough stones, as noted by Pennant, although these stones had disappeared by 1902.
