Cross made from fine-grained pink-brown sandstone featuring a crucified figure of Christ depicted on one side and an apparently draped figure, now headless, identified as the Virgin Mary on the other side. One arm of the cross and the top finial is missing. The style suggests a later thirteenth or early fourteenth-century date.
