GV II*
Cross shaft with rough circular head. Circa late C12. Grey Elvan. Shaft terminates in round head inscribed with cross-crosslet. The cross was dug up in 1918 close to the path which formerly ran between Tonacombe Manor and Morwenstow Church. Only 3 other Grey Elvan stone crosses are known from Cornwall, at Padstow, Tintagel and one near Truro, now in Eastbourne. The incised cross-crosslet is unique to Cornwall although found on crosses in the Dartmoor borders. The cross- crosslet motif is said to have originated at the end of the C12.
