Description
The cross in the churchyard of the Church of St David is made of sandstone. The socket stone is set directly on the ground and is square to octagonal in shape, featuring incised stops that are very worn, likely broached or possibly bull-nosed. The shaft of the cross rises about 1 meter and is broken off; it is octagonal with pyramid stops at the base. A wheel-head cross, which is also made of the same stone, is broken off and lies beside the shaft, although it may not belong to the same cross.
