There are inscriptions on the polished stone on the shaft and around base in English, Irish, Latin and Welsh. A local community millennium project, the cross is built on the site of a medieval chapel dedicated to Saint Ffraid. Details from information board at site: 'Ffraid is the Welsh name for the Irish saint Brigid who by tradition lived in early Christian times and enjoyed a great reputation as a miracle worker. One of the many legends describes how Ffraid travelled from Ireland to Wales. The story goes that when her father betrothed her to an Irish prince, rather than marry, she fled with her maidens to the seaside.
