Description
The cross in the churchyard of St Sannan is a short cross shaft set on a square base with a high stepped plinth made of coursed rubble. The base is constructed from conglomerate stone and features moulded corners. On the east side of the base, there is a panel that has been cut in with a memorial inscription dedicated to Rees Jones, who died in 1925. The short tapering cross shaft is chamfered and is topped with a carved cross, which was added in 1925.
