Churchyard crosses mostly date from the medieval period and acted as a site for preaching especially for the itinerant orders, a focus of liurgical processions and to sanctify the churchyard for burial before the development of individual graveyard monuments after the Reformation. Top of shaft has been remodelled, creating a knob finial possibly from the base of a former crucifix.
Consists of 3 rectangular steps, deep square hipped plinth stone with slender shaft broached at base; shaft weathered though appears formerly octagonal, now ending in a knob.
Listed as a medieval churchyard cross which is mostly intact and for group value with the church of St David and Cliff Cottage.
